You Might Be a Dutchman If.....

I came across a great website and saw this little article that pretty well summed up my childhood. So, in honour of my blogger friend Val who married a Dutchman ........ (feel free to steal it Val, you know you wanna)

You might be a Dutchman if...

You finish the food on your plate in a restaurant even though it is burnt or otherwise unfit for human consumption;

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 Superbowl;

Your main contribution to gender equality was the switch from King to Wilhelmina brand peppermints;

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;

You wipe the last of the butter out of the container with your bun;

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;

The last tip you left at a restaurant! was: "Don't wear so much makeup" and "A little quicker with the coffee next time";

You have always been to church on New Year's Eve;

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;

Seeing raised hands during worship causes you to look around for a stick up man;

You are still trying to justify owning a dishwasher;

At your wedding everyone is swaying but no one is dancing;

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;

You can't imagine a funeral reception without ham buns;

The usher never needs to ask you where you want to sit;

You consider ketchup a spice.
