Growing Up Southern

Growing up Southern is a privilege, really. It's more than where you're 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 and college football, hunting and fishing. It's being hospitable, being devoted to screened porches, BBQ's, Coca Cola and each other. We don't become Southern-we're born that way. Anonymous.
