As a Plant City girl now living in Massachusetts, they all really look funny at me when I say “I’ve known them since they were knee high to a grasshopper” or when we go into a store I tell my friends to grab a buggy and they look at me like I’ve got 7 heads!

I was born in New York City but, I love the south so I definitely picked up some of the sayings down here. My favorite so far is ‘oh it’s about a country mile down the road’, you’re going to be driving for at least 30min.
