YOU KNOW YOU ARE FROM MASSACHUSETTS WHEN...
Ok, so I was playing on Facebook and noticed the group "You know you are from Massachusetts when..." Despite wanting desperately to relocate to a warmer climate, I giggled and related to every single one of these. You can take the girl out of Boston, but never can you take the Boston out of the girl. My all time favorite is meeting "outsiders" and molding them into Bostonians, point in case, our friend Todd moved to MA from Arkansas.... that was entertaining! Or our fellow photographer friend Shyla, she caught on quick and refered to her Red Sox hat as her Boston hat. (giggle)! Enjoy and feel free to add your own you know you are from Massachusetts when... in our comment section.
