You Know You are From South Dakota When...


I got creative one day and did my own version of, "You Know You Are From South Dakota When..." I hope you enjoy! You could do one for your respective State if you so choose!



You Know You Are a South Dakotan When:


- You look forward to the State Fair in Huron!


- Your look forward to going to Sioux Falls for a shopping trip!


- You don’t even get excited about school being cancelled because of snow; after all, what else is new!


- When someone talks about the “River” you know they are talking about the Missouri!


- You consider yourself being from either East or West River!


- A Homecoming parade to you consists of 12 tricycles, 6 fire trucks, 14 tractors and a bunch of cars with politicians riding in them!


- When you pronounce “South Dakota” it takes 10 seconds to finish!


- You still think Bill Janklow is the Governor of the State!


- You can only spray your yard two times a year because the wind always blows!


- You live in a town that doesn’t have a stoplight!


- You think a traffic jam is having to wait at a stop sign for traffic!


- You assume that all high schools only have 32 seniors!


- The closest thing to “Meals on Wheels” is your going down to the town cafĂ© three times a day!


- You look forward to receiving junk mail!


- You don’t need a computer; your aunt has one you can use!


- There’s a reason for celebrating graduating from Kindergarten, after all you spent four of your best years in that class!


- You aren’t shocked when you finally get your driver’s license; after all, you’re probably been driving for 10 years!


- You wouldn’t think about sassing a teacher, after all, you are probably related to her!


- You are afraid to ask a classmate out on a date because of the likelihood of their being your second cousin!


- Your goal in life is to win the South Dakota Lottery!


- You think the Washington Pavilion is a picnic shelter house in DC.


- You’ve never been to New York nor really care to go!


- You have always dreamed of moving to the big city of Aberdeen!


- You probably have a relative living at the State Penitentiary!


- You go to the Sioux Falls Zoo to look at cows and goats!


- When you think “Out East” you think first of Illinois!


- An authentic Mexican restaurant to you is Taco Belle!


- You drive 65 miles to a grocery store for a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk!


- Going out for dinner means having to drive out of town!


- You look forward to attending garage sales so you have something to do on a Saturday!


- There are more pickups in SD than drivers!


- Every pickup has a gun rack!


- You go hunting even if you don’t own your own gun!


- A tailgate party to you means your dog got his tail caught in the gate coming in from the pasture!


- Finishing your education means getting your GED!


- You don’t think you have an accent like everyone else in the country!


- You think a shrink is what happens after you go to the laundromat!!


- You have at least one relative living in Sioux Falls!


- You know about the annual Kingswood Rummage sale and book a hotel and come to Sioux Falls once a year for this annual event!


- You know many people with the name of Robert Johnson and at least three of them are in your immediate family!


- You wouldn’t ever consider living in Iowa when you have it so good in South Dakota!
