Anyways, my daughter goes to get in the back seat and she has to clean out the left-over hay from last night when I had to bring a couple of flakes up from the barn for the sheep. Then, we get to church, it takes an hour so we obviously need to use the restroom as soon as we arrive. As we are washing our hands and getting ready leave the restroom we notice a trail of hay behind us all over the bathroom floor and begin to laugh because that is something that only happens to country girls!
So I decided to start a list called, "you know you are a country girl when..."
1. you leave trails of hay everywhere you go.
2. you are returning to the house after doing the chores and you see another dead mole in front of the door and instead of carefully picking it up with gloves and disposing of it properly you just kick it off the end of the porch.
3. "1911" isn't just another year to you.
4. When you no longer bury every dead chicken the raccoons kill, putting up the little cross and condoling the children, instead you just get your manure fork and "huck" the remains into the woods...someone will finish eating them.
5. When you actually use the word, "huck."
6.When you do all your morning chores in your pajamas, you've got your overalls over the top of them anyways!
7. You spend more money on your muck boots than any other shoe you own.
8. You take better care of your muck boots than any other shoe you own.
Well, if you'd like to add any to my list, please let me know...I will be adding to it frequently.
Thanks for the heads up on determining if I'm a Country Girl or not. After reading your list I've decided that I am NOT a Country Girl. However I do live in the country and I do own a pair of cowgirl boots,I also like country music and I like to chew on a piece of straw once in awhile. Does any of this qualify me to be a Country Girl?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are a country girl to me! Cowboy boots and country music, really can't go wrong there. Do you ever have any horse manure stuck to your boots? Do you find yourself thinking some of your animals are smarter than some of the people in your life? Those are other signs. : )
ReplyDeleteAnother ensemble addition for the flannel PJ's and rubber boots might be a battery operated Black & Decker vac complete with holster for those lingering and stubborn pieces of straw. One other addition to the list... "You know you're a Country Girl when you think [for just a split second] the smell of hay and manure kinda smells good"
