Delaware. The state nobody knows anything about. Sure, Delaware was the first one to sign that little piece of paper we call the Constitution, but that's the only thing we're ever known for unless something happens. The absolute boredom of Delaware is known to every person who grew up here especially in the Kent and Sussex Counties or what we call it, "Lower Slower Delaware," or LSD for short. Nobody outside of Delaware knows the life we live. Not even Google.
Welcome to Delaware.
1. Delawareans know how to answer this question..."Dela-where?"
SOUTH OF PENNSYLVANIA. EAST OF MARYLAND.
You're not funny.
2. Delawareans are surprised when someone famous mentions Delaware.
It's shocking and sometimes funny when the someone acknowledges Delaware on a national scale.
We consider this our way of reminding the rest of the country that Delaware is still relevant. It doesn't even matter what it's about.
3. Delawareans don't know the meaning of traffic.
Unless you're near the Delaware-Pennsylvania border or the beach during Summer, traffic doesn't really exist.
That can make us such awful drivers because we don't know how to drive in traffic unless we learn outside of the state.
4. Delawareans despise going to the DMV more than anyone else.
Delaware is a state where you have to drive everywhere, so trips to the DMV were pretty much mandatory on a regular basis. Just when you thought it couldn't get more boring. Wait, did they spelled my name wrong? *Grabs another number*
5. Delawareans will try to leave the state whenever they can.
Once you're clear to drive, you do whatever you can to get the heck out of here. Nine times out of ten, there's honestly nothing to do in Delaware, so we have to go out of state just to do something somewhat exciting.
Grab your headphones and portable chargers. This drive might take a while.
6. Delawareans consider Firefly a holiday.
Four days of non-stop rage. The one event every Delawarean looks forward to every year, Firefly Music Festival with past headliners like Paul McCartney.
For once, we don't have to leave home to enjoy something this awesome. Nobody is more excited about Firefly than Delawareans (Actually, that depends on the lineup which every Delawarean talks about). Firefly is where Delawareans reunite. Party at the Woodlands!
7. Delawareans have this special hatred towards snow.
Delaware gets that level of snow where it isn't enough to cancel school or work, but it's enough to make driving an absolute pain in the ass. Delaware just gets the leftover snow from the other states. Oh, that includes hurricanes too.
8. Delawareans don't know the meaning of sales tax either.
Being able to shop is a luxury. Being able to shop in Delaware is a godsend. Being able to shop in Delaware during Black Friday is a free-for-all. Being mad about being charged sales tax when you're in another state because you forgot you're in another state is a natural reaction.
9. Delawareans live at the beach.
Other than tax-free shopping, Delaware is also known for its beaches. Delawareans constantly have sand in their shoes, and they love it. Heck, they will just go to the beach at night just because they can be that bored sometimes.
I guarantee the average teen in Lower Slower Delaware will have at least one-night beach picture on their social medias. Besides, going to the beach at night is a lot better.
10. Delawareans know how to make something a big deal for all the right reasons.
Joe Biden, former Vice-President, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, and Meme. The greatest Delawarean of All-Time.
11. Delawareans will always call Delaware home
No matter how far we go from Delaware, we will always come back and call Delaware home. How can we leave a place with so many memories and friends? Delaware is a place of creativity and trust.
Because of that, Delawareans always understood the value of family and friends. The drive and commitment of Delawareans are what make Delaware first on the Constitution and in life.
You got Nevada twice.
