You know you're a Southerner...

...when you haven't had water in your house consistently for over three weeks, so now that there's no water, there's absolutely no telling how long it will be before there is water; the only water you have left doesn't even fill a small pitcher, a five liter bucket and a large pot; that little bit of water has to suffice for drinking, toilet flushing, tooth brushing, bathing, dish washing and everything else; and you STILL make a pot of sweet tea at the end of the night. (It's a pot of sweet tea because I only have one pitcher and it's currently holding some of the little water that I have left.)
