6. 12 days before Labor Day = Favorite time of the year.


7. You hate Edina.

8. This machine is familiar to you.

9. You go "Up North" for vacation.

10. You've played volleyball at Lake Calhoun.

11. You grew up playing "Duck Duck Grey Duck" instead of "Duck Duck Goose".

12. You try to avoid Mall of America at all costs.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
