Mine If you’ve ever been in a traffic jam involving cattle… you might be a redneck So I shrug my shoulders and try to adjust to living in a world of motor oil and grease. Let’s be real, we all have those things that drive each other crazy, and I’m far from perfect as I’m sure he’d tell you if he were a blogger, lol. But I love my man and he wouldn’t be him if it weren’t for his hobbies and love for all things with motors. I know it’s not a very conventional lifestyle and this is where rational thought beats out the redneck in me. #whatcarbonfootprint? Upon showing you this window of our life, I can only hope you won’t judge us too harshly. So in essence, we do fit into this category for the moment, but just barely. Wrong! Here’s the other one in the garage that doubles as a storage/ dumping ground. But they obviously aren’t going anywhere now are they? So let’s do a quick tally: 2 in front that work, 2 in back that don’t…. You can turn a key and something will happen. Now here is where MM and I differ in opinions: He would state that these two run, which is true, I suppose. No no, there are two Toyotas in the back. Oh did you think those were our only trucks? That’s sweet. She said: “You need to move or get rid of some of those trucks out front before the neighbors start complaining!” After doing a quick assessment of the neighbors parking areas and their own front yard collections, I replied “Well gee Mom, we’re just tying to fit in!!” If fewer than half your cars run… you might be a redneck. I remember my mother reprimanding me early on in moving to a small town about this. For only two people living in a small house, he we sure do have a lot of vehicles.

It’s great, all the bells and whistles plus it tows a lot better than the old one which is ready to be put out to pasture.
that’s why everything is proudly displayed in our front yard.Īnd this is ours. As you can see Mountain Man got a new truck recently. Here we go: Jeff’s Redencks love to show off their money…. I felt it was only acceptable to create my own as well as use his when they crossed my path. So I’m getting there.Īs I looked around my town, I find many redneck indicators that Jeff had not mentioned before. I’ve heard myself say words like “reckon” “yonder” and “darn right.” Sometimes it even startles me when I hear myself. I listen to country music… and enjoy it enthusiastically which I never thought would happen. I’ve traded my jackets for hoodies and sneakers for cowboy boots. As the years roll by, little things do change. That is why I consider myself still an aspiring small town girl. I’m trying really hard to be one too! It’s tough! Often rational thought beats it out of me so often. He also states that you can’t make fun of redneck unless you are one. As my Mountain Man would say, “It’s just how we do.” You don’t have to put on airs for anything you don’t want to. I love the comfort and ease that comes with living in a redneck town. Foxworthy’s definition of redneck is “A glorious absence of sophistication” Oh yes, it is glorious! Truly. Boy, was I wrong, many of his statements are now found in my own home! As I looked around I found more and more!! Then it occurred to me, how much fun would it be to turn this into a game! A scavenger hunt! When I first heard some of these, long before I moved to a small town, I thought they were funny but not as common as he made them out to be.
For over 30 years he has been listing the indicators that will gauge whether you are indeed a redneck.
