Before you read below, let me just say that I don't mean to offend anyone - I LOVE UTAH. I'm the daughter of native Utahns and lived there for 7 years. But I think we can all appreciate poking a little fun at Utah culture!
I received the following in an email from my cousin Darcie in Utah. I thought it was too funny and had to share. Who knows if Jeff Foxworthy actually said these words or if someone else came up with this list, but they're funny just the same.
FORGET REDNECKS: THIS IS WHAT JEFF FOXWORTHY HAD TO SAY ABOUT UTAHNS

my favorite one is the security lights installed but still leaving the doors unlocked...so true and even though St.George is closer to us than Salt Lake, it's still Utah and this one is true for them too! I just don't understand the not locking the doors; when we visit friends in Utah they all leave without locking the doors and it makes me so nervous, i feel like to doing a full search when we get back to their house.
I got that same email and laughed so hard. My parents don't even own a key to their back door!!
HA HA!! Loved that!
That email is so funny! My favorite is the security lights and not locking the doors- I cracked up!
So funny! I love the one about having a full on conversation with a wrong number. That is so my grandparents.
Daniel has worn a hoodie and shorts to school until this past week when we realized his legs had blisters on them from rolling around in the snow at recess. He has worn pants this week. Some kids have to experience stuff first hand. Very funny blog! Also, I hope you are feeling better. I have been meaning to call you.
