You know you're from a small town if...

You can name everyone you graduated with.
You know what 4-H is.
You ever went to parties at a pasture, barn, or in the middle of a dirt road.
You schedule parties around the schedule of different police officers, since you know which ones would bust you and which ones wouldn't- same goes with the game warden.
You ever went cow tipping or snipe hunting.
School gets cancelled for state events.
You could never buy cigarettes because all the store clerks knew how old you were (and if you were old they'd tell your parents anyhow).
It was cool to date someone from the neighboring town.
You had senior skip day.
The whole school went to the same party after graduation.
You don't give directions by street names or directions by references (turn by Nelson's house, go two blocks east Anderson's, and it's four houses left of the track field).
The country club golf course had only 9 holes.
You can't help but date a friend's ex-girlfriend.
Your car stays filthy because of the dirt roads, and you will never own a dark vehicle for this reason.
You think kids that ride skateboards are weird.
The town next to you is considered "trashy" or "snooty", but is actually just like your town.
Getting paid minimum wage is considered a raise
You refer to anyone with a house newer than 1980 as the "rich people."
The people in the city dress funny, then you pick-up on the trend two years later.
Anyone you want can be found at either the Dairy Queen or the feed store.
You see at least one friend a week driving a tractor through town.
Football coaches suggest that you haul hay for the summer to get stronger.
The city council meets at the coffee shop.
Weekend excitement involves a trip to a Wal-Mart.
Even the ugly people enter beauty pageants.
Your teacher calls you by your older siblings names.
Your teachers remember when they taught your parents.
The closest McDonald's is 45 miles away.
So is the closest mall.
It is normal to see an old man riding through town on a riding lawn mower.

WOw, where'd you grow up? the deep south? I shared some of the experiences, but the tractor factor was a bit much... never realized how small my town was...

Reminds me of where I had to go on Easter to see some of my wife's extended family. They live in White Bird, Idaho. Population 106. It is so small, that there are no POLICE.

I was held prisoner of war in Iowa for four years, and you just described my complete existence there.
