If you grew up in Oklahoma then you know you had different thoughts and experiences versus someone who, say, grew up in Florida. You didn’t have to worry about shark attacks, but you did have to worry about being swept away by a tornado. You also didn’t have to check the surf report, but you did have to check the allergy report. Those who grew up in the Sooner State can probably relate to these 16 thoughts they had when growing up:
- Are we going to die?
