17 Undeniable Ways You Know You’re From The State Of Kansas
If these things make you think “Yep, that’s me.” then you know you belong here. We’ve all thought about these things at one time or another, and here’s proof!
1. Always arguing whether winter or summer is worse in Kansas. (Hint: they're both pretty intense!)
2. The legend of a Snow Day and a Tornado in the same month.
3. Competitions for who gets closest/the best photo of the tornado.
4. Every birthday party was at a roller rink. My hangout was Carousel in Wichita.
5. Kansas city Kansas/Missouri arguments. (We know we're better.)
6. Cow pies are... not pies. Not pies at all.
I met a guy from the east coast who made shepherd's pie and called it... cow pie. I died a little.
7. Bonfires are simply necessary for all outdoor gatherings, regardless of weather (unless there's a burn ban!)
8. What do you mean you don't like catfish? Are you crazy?
9. Waiting what seems like forever for all the hot water to get out of the hose! (Also, best drinking fountain ever.)
10. When it's hot, you only need 2 fingers to use this, I promise!
11. The branding iron that comes standard in every car.
12. Either this is ice in the winter, or feels like duct tape in the summer. Hot, blistering duct tape.
13. There's always tea in your parents' house fridge. Sweet or not.
14. The #2 most hated creature in Kansas is chiggers.
15. #1 is mosquitoes.
16. There's usually someone wearing overalls at the wedding.
At least one. Unless you're from Johnson County, where you'd have no need for overalls!
17. That friendly wave to friends, or finger-wave to anyone is always there.
You must have just picked it up from everyone else, because no one really taught it to you.
Anything else you can think of that’s just so “Kansas” it belongs here? Let us know in the comments!
