FRIENDS" VS. "SOUTHERN" FRIENDS

This was sent to me by a longtime family friend and I wanted to share with all my southern friends here at AR....Enjoy!!!

FRIENDS" VS. "SOUTHERN" FRIENDS


FRIENDS: Never ask for food.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Always bring the food. And lots of it.


FRIENDS: Will say "hello".
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will give you a big hug and a kiss. More than one.


FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mom and Dad, and often.


FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Cry with you. And for you.


FRIEND S: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will spend hours there, talking, laughing, and just being together. Then do the dishes before leaving.


FRIENDS: Know a few things about you.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Could write a book with direct quotes from you. And most of the time know you better than you do yourself.



FRIENDS: Will leave you behind if that's what the crowd is doing.

SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will kick the whole crowds' back-ends that left you. Then walk beside you in the front of the crowd.


FRIENDS: Would knock on your door.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "Are you home?" If you are not home they will wait.


FRIENDS: Are for a while.
SOUTHREN FRIENDS: Are for life. And then some.



I have been Blessed with SOUTHERN FRIENDS

I LOVE YA'LL!!!

Oh yea....so true.


I miss the South, the manners etc.. When we first moved here I walked right in to someone's house. They told me they preferred I call first.


Ugh....differnt rules. I like the Southern ones best.

Sounds to me like all your friends here in the South are Italian. It is the same in Italian families and friends. Good post

I love living in the South. People are so polite and friendly. There is quite a difference here.

Laura... These are very cute, I must say most of my friends from the south posses these same southern graces but not all of them do.

If we lived close you would bet I would be a Southern friend. Isn't it great?

I love Southern manners!  Hubby was born and raised in the South and each time we visited I always felt so heartwarmed by everyone!

Laura, I guess I gotta move South:)) Not only plenty of sunshine, but also plenty of friends:)

You forgot one "Bless their heart." What does that really mean to southern person

Nothing better than a true friend! I would rather have 2 southern friends than a boatload of friends.

I have to get some better friends. All mine spend hours with me laughing and talking, but they never do the damn dishes.

Laura --- this is soooooooo true or at least I have found it so.  JL, you are so funny.  You are a perfect example, I'm sure, of a Southern friend.  Love ya

Love the post!  There is definately a difference in the South.  A few years back I had to go to Cleveland for a few months.  I knew I was back home in the South when on the way home I stopped at a gas station in TN and the person at the register said, "Well hi there hun, how are you doing today?  It was like a breath of fresh air.  :)

Hi. I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.
I am from Mozambique and bad know English, please tell me right I wrote the following sentence: "Other families forgo licensed preschool altogether, leaving children with neighbors or keeping them at home."

Thanks for the help :), Claude.
