living in Redneck Country
Yesterday, I had to drive west of here on business. It is a lonely 30 some odd mile drive. So as I am driving, I am gazing out trying very hard not to become bored. As I drive along, I am noticing the houses.
Here is what I observed:
Perfectly comfort front porch seating-flowered couch-you know the kind you have seen it in the finest tacky homes.
Complete with a end table for beer bottles and a ash tray.
A yard full of broken down trucks, hay trucks, various farm machines. Beautiful home-albeit the junk heaps.
A fat momma and her younguns, she is in shorts way too short, a tee shirt that says "baby here" with a arrow pointed down. And she ain't pregnant. The kids are in varied types of clothing, one baby with a diaper draping about his knees, full of I don't want to guess.
Many pick up trucks with the bumper stickers with the wording of "Free Mustache Rides".
When you drive through a town and there are as many double wide trailers as there are standard style homes.
Perfectly nice homes with towels as curtains, Of course the windows are wide open with the towels blowing in the breeze. Of course thank God for the breeze because it is hot here.
Mail boxes painted as cows, houses, and of course the college team of your choice.
Instead of a American flag flying from the front porch, a OU or Texas flag replaces our Nations Flag. Oh here is a kicker, seems a UFO flew over one persons yard and did a crop circle in the shape of a Texas Longhorn.
Best sight of all - A Coors light sign complete with neon hung over the garage door.
In the words of Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a redneck!!
When you mow your yard and find that you have a new car in your yard.
When W-D 40 is both for household use and a make up remover.
When you go to your sisters house and she has a complete set of salad bowls and they all say "Cool Whip" on the side.
When you help your riches relative take the wheels off their new home.
From me: You might be a redneck if you have any part of your bathroom in the front yard as a lawn ornament or flower container.-Yeah I saw that, it was a toliet with flowers in it.
You might be a redneck if your sunday best clothes has nascar on the front of it.
Well hope you enjoyed the little tour of southwest Oklahoma. Come on down and visit us you here?
I make the sweet tea and leave the front porch light on for ya.
Love
Janet
