Just what defines a Flatlander

WOW... and I thought marketing directed at young parents was bad today...

"Start Junior on Cola now so that he will be accepted by his peers when he's a teenager."

Makes me sorta glad my kids hate the stuff - "Eewwww! Bubbles!"

Growing up south of Boston, it was always known as Tonic.

Sometimes today, I catch myself not using the word "tonic" and it kills me to lose that terminology.

I think I may be one of the few in my area that use it. Hope not!

Flatlanders: noun, associated with elves, Santa, Easter Bunny, Toothfairy, etc.

However, I do know all about folks from MA. getting a little ticked off from being called folks from Massa'chewsus!

I'm a very proud and was born at Boston's MEMorial Hospital a while back in 1944, [ In The AM ] so's I was wide awake at the getGo! I hit the ground running in Southy, no LESS!

OH, were them ever the days...
