Ghetto/Country

Ok I've been getting frustrated with people I consider to be ghetto/country. It's a mindset and frankly some people don't know if they fit into this category so I'm going to clear it up in case you may be wondering. If you do any of the following you're either there or well on your way. If you don't do all of them but recognizie that you've been doing a few of them then there's still time to get back on the right track.

You're ghetto/country if:

1. You have a BBQ grill on the front porch
2. You park your car on the lawn even if you have a driveway
3. There's a living room couch or arm chair (or any "inside" furniture) on your front or back porch
4. You name your child something very common yet change the spelling (ie. "Ami" for "Amy")
5. You wear a XXL white t-shirt yet weigh only 120 lbs.
6. You're paying at the register with food stamps yet all your kids have on Jordans...and your freshly done nails are visible while talking on the cell phone
7. You live in the projects with a brand new Escalade out front
8. You notice other people keep turning around while you're talking out in public (in other words you talk too loud)
9. You say "Girl I know he didn't" a little too often
10. You have more than one car in the driveway that doesn't work (and hasn't for years)
11. In the summer time you tend to do hair on the front porch
12. The kids toys stay in the front lawn
13. Your nails stay done even in the midst of financial crises
14. You use muliple 4 letter words in front of your toddler
15. Smoking in the car with children while the windows are up
16. You have 30 day tags on the back of the car and on the driver side you have a black garbage bag for a window
17. If you have five kids by four different Daddies
18. If you've ever said "My Baby's Daddy"

Now those are just my personal opinions below is a quiz a friend of mine sent awhile ago. If you still have doubts please take the below test:
