coming from a small town
I come from a small town in (ARKANSAS) where everyone pulls over to let an AMBULANCE or a FUNERAL PROCESSION pass. We don’t have FIRE FLIES, we have LIGHTNING BUGS. (Y’ALL) is a proper noun and (AIN’T) is definitely a word. SHOES aren’t necessary and if we go outside, we get dirty and we ain’t AFRAID OF IT. Chicken is FRIED and kool-aid is the HOUSE WINE.

Life in the Southern States
Life in the Southern states is a culture unlike any other in America. Some of the favorite past times of the Southern people include: fixin things around the house, eating, helping others, developing our personalities, having a good time with our friends and family, napping, and sometimes doing nothing at all. You will find Southerners to be friendly, well kept in most cases, and eager to open our...

No Need to Rise
The way I see it, there’s no need for “The South to Rise Again.”
In the South, most of us are born and bred to “kill with kindness” whether it’s a friend or enemy (or I was anyway). I challenge you to spend a week up North, and a week down South. When you’ve finished, tell me which people you’d rather be around. Our parents told us not to brag or...

Growing up Southern
Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It’s more than where you were born - it’s an idea, a state of mind that seems imparted at birth. It’s more than loving fried chicken, sweet tea, high school football, beer, and acoustic guitars. It’s being hospitable, being devoted to front porches, moon pies, coca cola, and each other. We don’t become Southern, we’re...

Fundamentals
Be Humble -Others first, yourself last. Self denial and deference to others are the cornerstone of good manners -acting selfish or uppity, is not. “After you,”
Be Courteous -Remember the Golden Rule. Go out of your way to be helpful and kind to everyone you encounter. And if you must, kill them with kindness.
Behave Yourself -If your Momma has to say “you weren’t raised...
“Keep Calm
and
Carry On”
manners are not optional.
