Friends vs. Southern Friends (Yes, there really is a difference!)

I got this from a nursing school friend of mine, and it is so true!!! Enjoy!!


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

FRIENDS: Say "hello."
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Give you a big hug and a kiss - usually more than one!


FRIENDS: Call your parents Mr. and Mrs.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Call your parents Mom and Dad, and really mean it.


FRIENDS: Have never seen you cry.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Usually being a starched handkerchief and cry with you. And for you.


FRIENDS: Will eat at your dinner table and leave.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Will spend hours at the dinner table 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. Most of the time they know you better than you know yourself. For some of us, that's scary as hell.


FRIENDS: Knock on your door and wait to be invited into your home.
SOUTHERN FRIENDS: Walk right in and say, "I'm home!" If you're not home, they'll start dinner and wait.


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



If you find yourself deprived of Southern Friends, this will serve as an excellent educational tool for why you should look into the possibility of finding some - fast! If you already have some Southern Friends, consider yourself lucky. These really are the best kind of friends one could ask for.

To all my Southern Friends... Thank you for being my friend. I love y'all more than you could know!!!
