I must be a Southerner.

 

Yup. Despite what that stupid other quiz says.

 

Is dat whut thay bin callin me?

 

My granny made biscuits in a 9" cast iron skillet. there were maybe 6 biscuits in the pan, but man, those things smoothered in butter (not margarine) would keep you going all day... Or put you to sleep in about 10 minutes, you really had to get moving to stay awake.

 

Grandma makes homemade pancakes in a skillet that has a 3" hump in it. They come out a little odd shaped but man are they good. You can only eat about 3 and your sick as a dog afterwards. I wish I was back in oklahoma.

 

Also, knows what a "mess" of greens is...

K.

 

Also knows to duck for cover , or hold on tight, when somebody says any one or combination of the following:

Wanna see somthin neat?
Here, hold my beer for a second.
Watch this.
I saw a guy do this once.
Well, we'll just take this road.

 

You know a guy really isn't from the south when he says "this isn't a road".

 

I stop defining it as a road when the trees are too big to push over....

 

Grandma use to make biscuits for breakfast every morning. Grandpa would cut one of them open and put homemade butter on the inside and then add sugar. I can still see grandma pouring her coffee from her cup into a deep saucer and then she would drink it from the saucer. She said that it would cool it down so she could drink it.
I do miss those front porch rocking chair and swing history lessons..
