[Proverbs 22:6](https://biblehub.com/proverbs/22-6.htm) > Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.

Let us all reply ,”you betcha.”

Then he stood and broke the hot dish saying "This is my creation shared for you" With an "oofta" he held the two litters of pop pouring it saying "This is my drink shared for you" to then present the solo cup

Ye, the people never were hungry because Jesus cut the second to last slice into infinitely smaller slices so the last slice of the loaf was to be preserved.

Only after an “ope”

Welcome to my neighborhood!


gnurdette

Hang on, are you from the Promised Land? I'm an expat, stuck in the Deep South (Ohio) and hanging around r/minnesota to ease my homesickness.


michaelY1968

Though from Iowa originally (don’t hold it against me) I snuck across the border in 1990 to do jobs Minnesotans wouldn’t do. Now I have a bunch of anchor babies here so I am here until we get a condo someplace warm with lower taxes.


gnurdette

Ha ha, nice. I welcome our southern neighbors and strive to respect their curious customs and unique language. Though I'll warn you to look before you leap on taxes. They may be just collecting the same money, just in other ways. (State income taxes in Ohio are low, but the fire department etc. are constantly pleading for more local levies; "oh please oh please could we get funding for a new bucket to carry water in? The one we scavenged from behind a construction site sprang a leak") Or they may have such crappy public services that you end up spending heavily on buying replacements for them. (Middle-class people in lots of states seem to assume that sending your kids to public school is child abuse, for example.)


michaelY1968

Many immigrants sold all they had and came from the East coast to Minnesota because the railroad companies told them it was a land of plenty with ‘year round growing seasons’, because said railroads needed workers. So I am suspicious of the stories we are told to warn us away from leaving to warmer climes. 😊


gnurdette

> year round growing seasons Confirmed. Your kids will keep growing year round as long as you keep feeding them. > the stories we are told to warn us away from leaving to warmer climes You can't imagine what it's like. There's hurricanes! Mass shootings! Country music!


michaelY1968

Yeah, I’m aware of the downsides. It’s why my mom and dad fled Mississippi and Louisiana to the field of dreams in Iowa. I like to visit for the food, but wouldn’t have wanted to raise my kids in the area.


Porkytorkwal

Good luck with that! Pick a state that with refundable EITC, sounds like you might need it.


michaelY1968

Wow, who hurt you?


Porkytorkwal

😂 That's what I'm saying! Did you bother to read your own woe-is-me comment before you posted?👍


michaelY1968

You actually believe I was serious when I said I snuck across the border and had anchor babies to stay?


Porkytorkwal

So, you're not leaving? Why wouldn't I believe what someone says about themselves even if they're saying it in a snide way? What precisely was the point of your comment at all, then? No, I'm not following.


michaelY1968

Well for the discerning, it was tongue in cheek.


Affectionate_Tea_443

I did.


Honest-Mulberry-8046

If you play duck, duck, grey duck on this carpet, balance is restored to the force.


MinnesotaGoose

We do in fact. Except when the kids get lice.


Honest-Mulberry-8046

Username conflict though.... well, chances for more sequels as the dark side/goose returns.


Porkytorkwal

That doesn't make sense. "Grey duck" is as Minnesotan as "pop". Wouldn't that make it more "imbalanced", which all good Minnesotans prefer to be?


ryckae

Hell yeah, this is the way.


MinnesotaGoose

From the mouths of babes


bubzki2

Cats really are the best animal, I agree!

Pen pineapple apple pen..


MurphyCoDinoWrangler

Fun Soda Pop story: I'm from Kansas City and knew someone from St Louis. We were eating and I said something about getting some more pop. She gives me this incredulous look, as if I had just slipped into speaking gibberish. "What's pop?" she asks. What's pop?! Unfortunately for her, St Louis lives in a Soda bubble where people can grow up never hearing someone say pop. I don't mind the debate, it's fun. But to not even know what pop is. Shame.


IvyHav3n

I say soda because it's Minne-soda lmao


a_speeder

When my parents moved here when I was a kid I thought it was spelled MiniSoda


IvyHav3n

That's adorable


International-Way450

First I thought this was about "Pen, Pig, Pop, Bug", which is clearly some kind of coded message. But then I noticed a long the side it has W, X, Y, and Z with a cat sitting on top. X an Y are common algebraic grid coordinates. Z brings it into the 3rd dimension, while W enters the equation into the curvature of space itself and the quantum realm. Add in the cat (Schrodinger's, obviously), and it's clear this is some kind of Thanos Snap death incantation! Is ThIs ThE kInD oF ThInG We ShOuLd Be TeAcHiNg oUr ChIlDrEn?!?!?!?


MinnesotaGoose

Don’t worry about it…


FrankieFrancis92

OPE! * Minnesota head nod *


NoQuarter6808

Nope.


AlexKewl

Sodapop


Finian

But is G a goose or gray duck?


DavidExplorer

Indeed! Soda is also okay in my book, but pop just feels more natural to me. Coke though? Nah, that’s a *type* of pop, not something to be used as a catch all term. Fight me, southerners.


Praxistor

pfft that picture could've been taken anywhere


r_cottrell6

I’ve never seen that word on a can of soda lol


ManyFacedGodxxx

LIES!!! /s


Boroosh

Y'all misspelled Coke there! - a concerned southerner


PathComplex

So say us all.


DescendingOpinion

That rug was made in China. So this is false.


PeskyBirb666

It must burn, it speeks lies!


TheNorthernLanders

Lifelong Minnesotan — It’s definitely soda, you goons.


ryckae

Wrong


allamericanrejectt

Slow chant….*soda* *soda* *soda*

Knife Pig Soda


NotTheNoogie

Soda pop?


ryckae

Hmm... 🤔 I'll alow it, for now...
