  •  you have switched from 'heat' to 'A/C' and back again in the same day.
  •  driving is better in the winter because the potholes are filled with snow.
  •  you install security lights on your house and garage, but leave both doors unlocked.
  •  you carry jumpers in your car and your wife knows how to use them.
  •  everyone in your family has been on a "float trip".
  •  "Vacation" means driving to Silver Dollar City, Worlds of Fun or Six Flags.
  •  you ever rode a school bus over an hour each way.

  •  "Down South" means Arkansas and you know where Idiots Out Wandering Around are located.
  •  you had school classes canceled because of heat.
  •  you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching.
  •  you know that Harry S. Truman, Walt Disney, George Washington Carver and Mark Twain are all from Missouri.
  •  you know what "Home of Throwed Rolls" means!
  •  you know what’s supposed to be “knee-high by the Fourth of July.”
  •  you pronounce Missouri with an “ah” at the end.
