Southern Girls

I found some of these online and I added a few of my own.  Feel free to add some more!

A Southern girl:

• Always refers to her father as "Daddy". 
• Never leaves the house without her hair done and her makeup on.  What if you run into somebody you know???  And you know you'll run into somebody you know.
• Never tells her true age, even if she has to be 39 for 20 years.
• Never loses her temper in public.  Airing one's "dirty laundry" just isn't done!
• Acquires at a very early age the art of making sweet tea, pecan pie and banana pudding.
• Always makes her Rhett Butler feel like he's the one in control when everyone knows who actually runs the show!
• Knows you don't scream obscenities at little old women who drive slow.  You say, "bless her heart" and go around her.
  
• Always has at least two homegrown tomatoes on her kitchen counter in the summertime.
• Knows that cornbread cannot be made without a cast-iron skillet.
• Knows the difference in a hissy fit and a conniption.
• Also knows that you HAVE a conniption and you PITCH a hissy fit.
• Knows how many fish, collards, peas, beans, etc., make up a mess.
• Knows exactly how long "directly" is, as in, "I'll be back directly."
• Knows the best thing for a grieving family is a platter of fried chicken and some cold potato salad.
• Knows that "just down the road" could be one mile or twenty.
• Makes friends while in line.
• Knows the plural of y'all is all y'all.
