Growing up in Mississippi truly is a unique experience. From the freedom of playing outside all day to the values we were “reared” with, there’s just some things that every child growing up in the Magnolia State has most likely thought at some time or another.
- When you were first told “y’all” wasn’t a word…
Matt Batchelor/Flickr “That can’t be right.”
- Anytime you saw a honeysuckle…
April Griffus/Flickr “Mmmmm, time for a sweet snack.”
- While playing in the woods…
Brian Paul Henderson/Flickr “I could stay out here all day.”
- And once you heard the crickets chirping…
Darrell J. Rohl/Flickr “Oh no, the day is over.”
- Any time it rained all day long…
Amanda Slater/Flickr “Maybe school will be cancelled tomorrow.”
- Every winter…
www.serendipityissweet.com “I wish it would snow this year!”
- On Friday nights…
Jimmy Smith/Flickr “Yes! I get to go watch high school football.”
- Every Sunday morning…
woodleywonderworks/Flickr “I don’t want to get up for church.”
- When walking in tall grass…
Marcin Bajer/Flickr “I have to keep my eyes peeled for snakes.”
- And if you did see a snake…
John/Flickr “Red on black, venom lack; red on yellow, kill a fellow.”
- Anytime you ate a piece of watermelon…
Kris Kesiak/Flickr “I wonder how far I can spit these seeds.”
- By the time you were a teenager…
