Friends vs. Southern Rural Friends

by

Friends: Never ask for food.
SOUTHERN RURAL FRIENDS: ALWAYS BRING THE FOOD. AND LOTS OF IT.

Friends: Will say “hello”.
SOUTHERN RURAL FRIENDS: WILL GIVE YOU A BIG HUG AND A KISS. MORE THAN ONE!

Friends: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
SOUTHERN RURAL FRIENDS: CALL YOUR PARENTS MOM AND DAD, AND OFTEN.

Friends: Have never seen you cry.
SOUTHERN RURAL FRIENDS: CRY WITH YOU. AND FOR YOU.

Friends: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
SOUTHERN RURAL FRIENDS: WILL SPEND HOURS THERE, TALKING, LAUGHING, AND JUST BEING TOGETHER. THEN DO THE DISHES BEFORE LEAVING.

Friends: Know things about you.
SOUTHERN RURAL 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 RURAL 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 RURAL FRIENDS: WALK RIGHT IN AND SAY, “I’M HOME!” IF YOU ARE NOT HOME THEY WILL WAIT.

Friends: Are for a while.
SOUTHERN RURAL FRIENDS: ARE FOR LIFE. AND THEN SOME.

Friends: Might ignore this.
SOUTHERN RURAL FRIENDS: WILL FORWARD THIS TO ALL THEIR SOUTHERN FRIENDS!
