New Hampshire is a small state – in fact, only 0.41% of Americans call New Hampshire home. But our state is also well know for its natural beauty and small town charm. It’s no wonder that people are curious about what life in New Hampshire is like. Here are ten questions you’ve probably heard when people discover that you’re from New Hampshire.
- What do you do with all the snow?
InAweofGod’sCreation/flickr Umm… let the sun melt it when April comes?
- Is that close to Boston?
Jeff Gunn/flickr Sure, we root for the Red Sox and the Patriots, but sometimes we wish that people realized that New Hampshire is in a WHOLE different state than Boston.
- How do you pronounce Kancamangus?
Johnathon Moreau/flickr Before you answer this one, you have to hear their theories.
- Have you seen a moose?
Dennis Jarvis/flickr If you’re a New Hampshire resident you know that you can live a whole lifetime here without ever seeing one of these shy giants.
- Have you met a presidential candidate?
Marc Nozell/flickr Sure, lots of presidential candidates come through the Granite State, but that doesn’t mean we can – or even want to – meet them all.
- Do you know my cousin so-and-so?
Darian Library/flickr …. She lived in New Hampshire too!
- Do you like to hike?
Ji Soo Song Although most New Hampshire residents love to go outside, not all of us are mountineers.
- Do you own a gun?
Scott Butner/flickr About thirty percent of New Hampshire households have a gun, but it seems like outsiders think that everyone here has one.
- How do you survive the cold?
Annika Backstorm/flickr Answer: It’s all about having the proper supplies. And layers.
- Aren’t you cold?
Granger Meador/flickr Cold? Anything above 45 degrees is a heat wave!
- Was your high school super tiny?
The People’s Tribune/flickr For some of us, yes, but New Hampshire also has some bigger cities!
