The South is where we were all born and raised. We drink sweet tea and refer to everyone as y'all, but the longer we live out west the more we realize we are not in Southern Alabama anymore. We started making a list of all the "weird" things that we Southern gals are not used to...
-there is always a call for snow in June
-all restaurants serve Pepsi products instead of Coke
-sweet tea in never an option
-the grocery store has an aisle called "cold pop" (referring to cold coke of course)
-grits and oatmeal are thought to be the same thing.
-"you guys" is an all too common phrase.
-friendly small talk is only found from visitors (usually Southern visitors)
-Subarus are more common then big obnoxious trucks.
-cowboy boots are practical instead of stylish
-no one understands the rival between Alabama and Auburn
-there is no Chick-fil-A
-there is not a church on every corner
-yes maam and yes sir is seen as rude instead of polite. (more people then we can count have asked us not to call them that)
- everywhere you go there are signs that say: "CAUTION! watch out for MOOSE & BUFFALO!
we definitely are not from around these parts,
