You Know You're American When...

 Forever 21 top, Gap straight leg slacks, Lulu's glitter t-strap heels, Revlon "Ravish me Red" lippy.

Something about a nice pair of blacks slacks and a white tee makes me feel very French.

Or maybe it's just that my shirt has French on it.

I have been mercilessly teasing Mr. Darcy about the fact that he is becoming more and more "Americanized" (my word. It's offish. (short for "official". It's a legit word.(short for "legitimate." It's a-good lord this could go on forever)))

So in case you are wondering, here are the ways you can tell if you are becoming American:

1. You say "HAY!" when you see a friend.

2. You say "dude" or "man" ALOT.

3. You super size your fast food.

4. You buy the Super Big Gulp at 7/11

5. You call "football" "soccer".

6. You start "running by" places instead of "popping over" to places. Even though running and popcorn are not EVER involved in either situation.

7. Taco Bell is actual Mexican food to you.

8. You take your leftovers home from the restaurant, regardless of how much or what is left on the plate.

9. You call your chips french fries.

10. You drive a Mustang. Can't get much more American than that.

12. The smell of skunk on the highway is now normal to you.

13. You consider for just a minute saying Yes, actually I do! when people ask if you know the Queen.

15. You've been through a tornado, and now think it's cool to chase after them instead of protecting yourself like a normal person would.

Mr. Darcy has not experienced all of these, so therefore he is not fully Americanized yet. And yes I realize that this does not represent all of America, and yes I realize that someone might be slightly offended by this, but please just take it in the all-in-good-fun, bonhomie light that it was meant.
