10 Thoughts Everyone Has Growing Up In Pennsylvania
Your perspective as a child is fresh, and allows you to pick out the weird things in life that many adults have grown used to. For instance, when I was a child, I asked my mom, “Why is there a giant alien spaceship in our backyard?” and she responded, “Oh, I forgot I left that there. Don’t tell anyone at school.”
Here are some observations that you may have made as a child growing up in the state of Pennsylvania.


A state specialty.

It never ends!

Pennsylvania has the highest concentration of Amish people in the country.

Nowhere else in the state actually exists in the imaginations of those from other places, apparently.

People travel from near and far just to get a glimpse of it.

With a gigantic population and an undying love of football.

For one day, or for, like, a few years. Either way is fine by me.

It has its quirks and eccentricities, but in the end, Pennsylvania is our home and it has too many amazing qualities to list them all. I wouldn't want to leave.
