You miiiiight be a redneck if...
your dad makes you sell pliers at your Lemonade and Muffins Stand.
Really, seriously now, I thought he was joking, but then he hauls this 2-ton wooden box of rusty pliers out and informs me I'll sell them for $.75 ea, $1 for two. @.@
other redneck indications include hauling all supplies (homemade table, chairs, muffins, umbrella) to the road using your trusty mini-tractor.

The Lemonade Stand (or li-money stand, I like to call it) was pretty much the *hilarious highlight of my weekend. When you're a kid, either a heck of a lot more people stop by for a 5 yr old or $2.00 overall profit means a lot more to you. 
(11 - 7) [supplies] / 2 [Me&Krystil] = $2 OVERALL PROFIT (I'll treat you to the $ Theatre.)
It took 2 hours to make all the lemonade/special-recipe-muffins/"creative" signs. We got out there about 1ish (blazin' hot). Krystil and I didn't realize Dad had set up the table over 2 MILLION ANTS ahaha...The wind kept knocking everything down (read: the umbrealla onto my head.)...People kept waving amiably at us, but didn't even slow down (Krystil: They're smiling, but really they're saying "haha, suckers!!")
One woman actually stopped and told me her life story. I mean, that's cool about your grandma's house and everything, but buy a freakin' muffin. They're delicious, I swear.
Krystil and I were laughing so hard...Li-money stands are a lot more fun when your mom makes and bakes everything. And $2 to you means you're a millionaire.

What can you buy with $2 nowadays? Besides candy and postcards.

I will always always stop at a lemonade stands from now on, promise.

*Li-money like how Olive says "a la mode"...or alimoney
