You know you are from a small town when .......

Let's have some fun with this one! (pop)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
When the only traffic light in town is when the train comes through and the crossing guards are flashing.

When you live where the black top ends, and your house is only 2 blocks off of main street.

When your neighbor drives a tractor to town because he lost his licence.

You may laugh, but mine are all true from where I grew up.

when there are 20 kids in your senior class. <beer>

When you have to take turns being the Village Idiot.

When there are 12 kids in your graduating class.

...when everybody in town see your kids and tell them " I remember your mom at that age!"

...when the guy at the local Co-op can tell you your family history, including all the in-laws and the 3 previous owners of your farm.

20!!!  I graduated from a class of 6!  Guess that makes my home town pretty small!( I was the only one who did not get at least 2 college degrees. I started on a Masters degree but quit to come home and chase cows) 
I wouldn't change a thing about my school years... probably the best time of my life. As for coming home to chase cows.... never regretted it for a moment!

When the only girls you know, to take to the prom are your cousins
When the town hooker is still a virgin
when everyone in town meets for coffee at the machine shop and sit on the 7 chairs.
When the town cop is also the ambulance driver, the dog catcher, the garbage collector, the fire chief, the Mayor and your father

when everyone knows who the crooks are

when you are the first and last to graduate in your class

The stray dog and cat population out numbers the people.

You can watch a cock fight while mailing a letter at the post office...true story.

When the town cop quits and the school crossing guard is promoted to replace him. First crime under his watch, someone stole the trash can from the local carwash. Crime still unsolved 10 years later. ( True story from a neighboring town. )

when you have 38 in your graduating class (i have that many as of right now)

when the school cant afford to buy copy paper for the teachers (before budget cuts by the way)

when you see kissing cousins

when your aunt is your teacher

i also have 3 of the same teachers my dad had in school

when your preacher is the baseball coach and the bus driver

WELCOME TO IOLA TEXAS

When everyone in the town knows what your doing even when you dont.

When your sr prank is welding a car around the flag pole and the ag students are in charge of getting it off

When u see an 8 yr old boy his sister and a puppy driving a tractor that's pulling there dads dead truck........and the dad and the kids uncle r sittin on the tailgate of the towed truck with beer in hand.

When you have 9 students in your graduating class. There is tow cotton gins and on stop sign. Big one here The High School, Junior High and Elementary school are in the same building.

When it's a big deal when the county puts a stop sign in your home town. RCR

I graduated 13th out of my class in high school, and didn't make the top 50%.  The school counselor called my folks once & reported me being at a big "party" and I was still at home (okay, I just wasn't at the party YET.) My kids' bus driver was my bus driver during school as well.  Last but not least, your kids' elementary school teachers tell you to go ahead & take them out of school for all the stock shows you want, because they won't start keeping track of "extra-curricular absences"  'til Jr. High. LOL!!!!!

At your high school football game during the "moment of silence" the crowd still prays out loud and nobody gripes about it.

There's 1 stoplight

The state can't even spell your county right! 3 years a sign on a 4-lane said Green County--we live in Greene County I fixed that problem...
The teachers know that you are going on a ffa trip before  you ever find out when it is.

when you are the only elementary school in the district that has to drive and hour to get to the middle school and everyone there calls you a hillbilly.
