I love being Dutch

I just emailed this to a few of you, but I thought I'd post it here too. This just cracks me up b/c it's so true!


YOU MIGHT BE DUTCH IF...

~ You reused plastic margarine containers long before
anyone had heard of the environmental movement.

~ You have a two volume address book, Volume I: A-U &
Volume II: V-Z.

~ You have never skipped church to watch the Super
Bowl.

~ Your range of restaurants is restricted by the
contents of a "Buy one meal, get one free" coupon book
that you purchased to support missionaries in Sierra Leone.

~ Your mother's hairdo is the same at your wedding as
it was at hers.

~ Your closet is divided into work clothes and Sunday
clothes.

~ Your church attendance record is not disrupted by
childbirth.

~ Your Sunday routine resembles: church, coffee, roast
beef, jello salad, snooze, and church.

~ You have a living room but never sit in it.

~ All your cookies taste like almonds.

~ You make the bed in your hotel room.

~ You can sing "eere zij God" even though you can't
speak Dutch.

~ You think that being progressive means discarding
the church hymnbook in favor of Keith Green songs on
the overhead.

~ You are still trying to justify owning a dishwasher.

~ You have attended worship services at a campground
amphitheater.

~ You know what an afghan is.

~ You have lace on your windows but not on your
underwear.

~ Your two permanent Saturday jobs are to wash the car
and make sure you have enough single bills for the
offerings.

~ All of your recipes are adapted to fit a 9 x 13 pan.

~ The usher never needs to ask you where you want to
sit in church.
