We’re from Maine. We’re supposed to be tough, hard working and strong enough to handle a few rough winters. Wait, what’s that? You hate the winter? Yeah, we thought so. Here are a few more things you’ll have a hard time getting a Mainer to admit. Can we all admit that some of these things have crossed our mind at least once?

1. I can't take another winter!

Shh, we're supposed to be able to handle it.
2. I don't like lobster.

Yes, you do. You're from Maine. We all like it. You're confused.
3. I love Freeport. And I have a photo of myself in front of the boot.

When friends are in town, it's an obligation.
4. Portland is fun on a Friday night.

The Old Port on a Friday night is definitely better than shoveling a driveway full of snow. At the very least.
5. I sometimes get Rockland and Rockport confused.

We can help. If you're heading to the lobster festival, it's ROCKLAND you want.
6. Florida would be a nice place to live in January.

It wouldn't. You don't mean that.
7. I just returned this jacket to L.L. Bean. I got it for Christmas in 1978.

They DO have a forgiving return policy, after all.
8. I say I hate Moxie, but I've never even tried it.

Maybe you should give it a try. There are definitely at least 10 people in this state that like it. Maybe even 11 people.
9. I can't remember The Counties song anymore.

We can help! "Sixteen counties has our state Cumberland and Franklin Piscataquis..."
10. I've never been to The County.

It's almost impossible to say this truthfully.

What is the one thing you’d never admit out loud? Admit it over on our Facebook page!
