Boy, sometimes I miss Florida so much!!!
You are supposed to be a Floridian if you know that:
- Socks are only for bowling.
- You never use an umbrella because you know the rain will be over in five minutes.
- A good parking place has nothing to do with distance from the store, but everything to do with shade.
- Your winter coat is made of denim.
- You can tell the difference between fire ant bites and mosquito bites.
- You're younger than thirty but some of your friends are over 65.
- Anything under 70 degrees is chilly.
- You've driven through Yeehaw Junction.
- You know that no other grocery store can compare to Publix.
- Every other house in your neighborhood had blue roofs in 2004-2005.
- You've gotten out of school early on Halloween to trick or treat before it got dark.
- You know that anything under a Category 3 just isn't worth waking up for.
- You dread love bug season.
- You are on a first name basis with the Hurricane list. They aren't Hurricane Charley or Hurricane Frances. You know them as Andrew, Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne.
- You know what a snowbird is and when they'll leave.
- You think a six-foot alligator is actually pretty average.
- 'Down South' means Key West.
- Flip-flops are everyday wear. Shoes are for business meetings and church, but you HAVE worn flip flops to church before.
- You have a drawer full of bathing suits, and one sweatshirt.
- You get annoyed at the tourists who feed seagulls.
- A mountain is any hill 100 feet above sea level.
- You know the four seasons really are: hurricane season, love bug season, tourist season and summer.
- You've hosted a hurricane party.
- You can pronounce Okeechobee, Kissimmee, Withlacoochee and Micanopy.
- You understand why it's better to have a friend with a boat, than have a boat yourself.
- You were 5 before you realized they made houses without pools.
- You were 25 when you first met someone who couldn't swim.
- You've worn shorts and used the A/C on Christmas and New Years.
- You recognize Miami-Dade as ' Northern Cuba. '
