The entire components of the story setting are drawn from my experience with one close family in NC and every item on the menu is present within consecutive Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s meals.
Betty-Sue cuts my hair.
Why are you so incredulous of redneck country life in the South?
since I am one of those rednecks that you like to poke fun at, you should check yourself before making claims you can’t back
You should try my Jamie.
Noting worse than a sensitive redneck.
You betcha,
You go flingin carrot or spargas spears, you could POKE SOMEONES EYE OUT!
(Its all fun n games till some one loses an eye!)
I KNOW I’m a redneck, I cook my sausage n eggs breakfast on the grill outback.
yeah well I guess Appalachia ain’t rural enough for you
well said
Very funny story. Thanks! I grew up further south than most of the “south” through the ‘60s and into the ‘70s (but nowhere near NC). And yes, back there and then, in 100 degree temperatures with around 100% humidity, we simply said “tea” (nearly always large, glass glasses of instant tea with sugar and much ice). The home cooking for some holidays was huge, but we would never consider throwing food or uttering any vulgarity. And the word, yankee, was mentioned in books about the Civil War—very rarely by any person (except teachers, reading aloud to classes, and television sets). “Snow bird” was heard from real people upon rare occasion.
Rednecks make a joke out of every trouble.
