Am I an Okie? (Part 2)
A continuation of this post.
You know the true value of a parking space is not determined by the distance to the door, but by the availability of shade.
Grocery stores don't have bags and carts, they have sacks and buggies.
You see people wear bib overalls to funerals.
You think everyone from a bigger city has an accent.
You measure distance in minutes ("I'm about 5 minutes away.")
You refer to the capital of Oklahoma as "The City."
It doesn't bother you to use an airport named for a man who died in an airplance crash.
Little smokies are something you serve only for special occasions.
You listen to the weather forecast before choosing an outfit.
Someone you know has used a college football schedule to plan their wedding date.

ran into your blog by accident. always hear about the small-town-to big-city story, but never the reverse. Love it. As someone who grew up in small-town OK, your Okieisms: (a) strike home, (b) are hilarious.
