Posted: 8/22/2008 1:38:11 PM | Your Momma lets you spend the night with friends so you'll get a hot meal.
You wash your hair in rain water cause you don't have running water.
You still have an out house with corn cobs and a Sears/Roebuck catalog.
You call the neighbor by hollaring across the fence.
When it snows you ride on a card board box, instead of a real sled.
Momma saves the aluminum foil and handi wrap to reuse.
You wash out freezer bags to reuse.
You save Wal-mart bags to use for garbage bags.
When you go somewhere you use a Wal-mart bag for luggage.
Your idea of getting a manicure or pedicure is a girlfriend doing your nails.
You eat at a friends house and they serve meat and you ask, "Is it Sunday, already?"
You'll only eat chicken if its Wednesday.
You naw on the bone BEFORE the dog does.
You milked the cow BEFORE you had cereal.
You gather your own eggs so you tell your friend's Mom, "I only eat chicken eggs. I don't eat store bought eggs." | |
