Signs you live in a small town

There is a big difference in people's version of 'small town'. Some people think North Battleford, Sk is a 'small town'. But really...its a city hanging on for dear life.

If you live in a small town....you know it. If you have to think about whether the town you live in is 'small town', than most likely it isn't.

So I've comprised a list of things that should clue you in as to whether or not your town is small or not.

The list:

1) You refer to things as: THE high school, THE elementary school, THE park, THE drug store, THE grocery store....as there is only ONE of each.

2) You're at the post office and you see Jason the plumber across the street & you call over to him and ask him to come repair your toilet. He shows up 20 mins later at your house...without having to ask where you live.

3) Jason the Plumber is also known as Jason the electrician, Jason the handyman, Jason the (fill in the blank).

4) You don't even have to give your Co-op member number to the girls at the grocery store, because they know it by memory.

5) The ladies at the post office call you at home to let you know a parcel has arrived.

6) If you become pregnant...everyone in town knows about it within 3 days.

7) If you get married, everyone in town assumes they are invited & show up...and your wedding is at THE church & your reception is at THE rec centre....just like everyone else's wedding.

8)If your kid skips school, you can rely on the people around town to call you & inform you.

9) If you move to a small town, you are like a celebrity. EVERYONE talks about you for months.

10)You know who a kids parents are just by how the kid looks.
