Every time it snowed pretty hard we all sat there listening to the radio hoping for a snow day. Then we'd spend the entire day out in the snow or on the lake skating.

basically if you live in illinois, there's a reason everyone says they live in chicago. nobody remembers "JOLIET" and "ROCKFORD" off the top of their heads

Same ritual here in the uk but we say 'right then' as we slap our knees and rise out of a chair.

Although all my family is Dutch and still living in the Netherlands, we appear to be from the Midwest....

I mean, we do bother clearing a spot in front of the drivers seat, and whatever side window/backwindow combo for whatever turn we plan on making.

I was holding the door for a dude at work and he decided he was going to be funny and start walking really slow. So I stood there holding it all the way until he got there and then closed it on him and walked off. The doors need a badge-scan to go through so not a big deal but it amused me.

i live at the end of a cul de sac, so the snow plower would never completely plow our section of the road. my dad would always curse the mayor out and try to fix our snow blower. 10 things flying at my face later, he finally started to shovel. needless to say some of my worst memories growing up have been commemorated with shoveling snow.

I grew up in Michigan and moved to NY, I died a little inside when I finally had to start calling my pop soda because I got tired of explaining it, but they will never take my "opes" and whispered apologies.

This is also an East Coast Canadian thing.....the letter "R" is casually tossed into strange places, like the end of the name Emma (Emmer) and the word wasp (warsp),. I love it

Um yeah, why waste money on a plane trip? According to my dad if my parents and older siblings take turns driving, we won't even have to stop for the night on the way there or back.

I did this last night. It was 14 degrees outside so I just walked fast.

I'd say more of an upscale McDonald's (5 Guys? ) and a fancier Dairy Queen mashup.

It is Friday. You hear the tornado siren and realize it is Friday and resume your business. Not that we would stop our business for a tornado any other day of the week, but we all that tornado sirens on Friday don't mean a thing.

Right left or forward. You hop in a car with friends and at intersections you take turns choosing right left or forward just to see where you end up.

Years ago, I slipped on my icy stairs whilst carrying a metal stepladder in my arm. For a few seconds, time slowed to a crawl, and all I could think of was "I hope the ladder doesn't hit me in the head". I landed on my back. The ladder landed next to me. And, we just lay there, contemplating life, and enjoying our time together.

When it was 64 degrees on Monday we were at school without our winter jackets. Absolute heaven.

You apologize BEFORE and after asking a favor. Then profusely say thank you for the next week.

Wait, there are people that don't do this? If you visit someplace once a year, do you not check for crop rotation as you are driving by?

You know you've reached "peak midwest" when your snow blower has its own tire chains.

Why would we miss the show? You don't take cover until you can see the tornado, and you confirm it is coming your way.

To be fair, with Corona going on, a 15 hour drive is the better option in terms of safety.

The Kansas City airport is a really unique design. It's a shame they've already started demolishing the terminals to build a more modern one.

I had an overwhelming urge to comment on nearly every one of these. Never has a post seemed more relatable. I have lived in exactly 3 states. Missouri, Illinois and Iowa. I've had cows, goats and pigs in the back of my SUV. Good hay that's been put up right makes me deliriously happy. At least a few times a year a neighbor pulls up to ask if the cows that are out belong to us. At least once a year they do. I DO know when it's going to rain. I hate putting people out by asking for help. The phrase 'going to town' is a permanent part of my vernacular. As is 'ope, so sorry' and 'wouldn't be so bad if that wind wasn't blowing.' The town I live near has 17,000 people and the only walmart for miles. When people from our area say they're 'going to town,' they mean they're taking a trip to Kirksville so they can get their shopping done.
