THINGS I LEARNED GROWING UP IN NORTH CAROLINA
* Vacation means spending a day in the mountains or on the coast.
* Schools close if it's too cold.
* Schools close if it's too hot.
* Brown Liquor is a staple of Carolina Society.
* South Carolina was dead weight well shed.
* Tea is served sweet unless you specifically asked for unsweetened.
* A small round sticker bearing just a number such as 42 or 3 on the back windshield of a car can inspire other drivers to give a friendly wave as they drive by. Or a number such as 24 could provoke a less friendly gesture.
* I remember watching the ACC Tournament on television at school.
* My local newspaper covers state, national, and international headlines in one page, but sports require six pages.
* Most men in my town consider the first day of deer season a national holiday.
* Fifty degrees Fahrenheit is a little chilly.
* The four seasons are almost summer, summer, still summer, and highway construction.
* I can tell if another North Carolinian is from eastern or western North Carolina as soon as he opens his mouth.
* BBQ is actually pronounced "bobbycue."
* BBQ is just a little bit better east of Raleigh.
* Schools and churches hold barbecue fundraisers with banana pudding as the dessert.
* Krispy Kreme makes the best doughnuts!
* I can spell words such as Ocracoke, Fuquay-Varina, and Chocowinity.
* Folks with a few generations of North Carolina blood in their veins would rather eat at Bojangles's than at McDonald's.
* In the Piedmont, even the grown-ups go out and play in the snow.
* I have actually uttered the phrase, "It's too hot to go to the pool."
* I know what tobacco looks like before it's made into cigarettes.
* I know Pepsi originated in New Bern and that Mountain Dew was invented in Fayetteville.
* I know Coke tastes better in the little bottles and that peanuts makes Coke taste even better.
* I know it is hard to find SunDrop anywhere else.
* I have an opinion about UNC: I went there and loved it or I hate everyone who did.
* I know folks who have taken trips to the mountains to look at leaves.
* My friends skipped school to go to the State Fair in Raleigh.
* My school took a field trip to the State Fair in Raleigh.
* I know more about ACC basketball than professional basketball.
* I know everyone claims to hate Senator Jesse Helms but somehow he has never lost an election.
* The Carolina League is the greatest baseball league in the country.
* There is a good chance that Richard Petty or Ric Flair could be elected governor if either ran.
* Rubbin' is Racin'!
* Dale Earnhardt is the only man who ever lived who could go 200 mph, spin somebody out, flip them the bird, call them a you-know-what, and win the race all in the last lap.
* Folks from other parts of the state have to buy gloves and winter coats if they go to college at Appalachian or Western Carolina.
* I would hate to live anywhere else!
