You know you're from Marion or Mullins when...

"How's your momma and them?" is a real question asked multiple times on a daily basis. And we are genuinely concerned about how your mother is.

The only traffic jam you experienced driving to school/work in the morning is a tractor slowing everyone up (or the train if you live in Mullins).

You know everyone you will graduate/graduated with (and still do if you're an adult living here).

You know where to find the best strawberries around.

Your best friend's dad owns the local restaurant, just ran for an office, and served as the President of the school board once or twice.

Your other best friend's mom was your favorite teacher in elementary school, and it's not weird that you spend every weekend at your teacher's house.

You get asked where you're from whenever you leave town because of that thick accent you "supposedly" have.

The tobacco leaf is your favorite flower.

You probably know the man that owns the produce stand on 76.

When explaining to people where you live, "In between Florence and Myrtle Beach" is your best option. Literally no one knows where we are, even people from South Carolina.

The Little Pee Dee River (shout out to Fork Retch) is the source of entertainment during the warm months.

If you took dance, you took it from Mrs. Emmalyn.

Your mama fixes supper with fresh vegetables you picked from the garden about an hour ago.

Everyone knows everyone and what car they drive and what church they go to and what they did last weekend (and probably what they're doing next weekend).

Fred's truly has the best fried chicken.

The Spanish moss is so beautiful on Main Street in Marion.

You wouldn't trade this quaint little small town or the wonderful people in it for the world.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
