By Delana Lefevers | Published March 20, 2016

Is there any such thing as spending too much time in Nebraska? We don’t think so. But we think you’ll agree that once you’ve spent enough time in any place you’ll start to take on the local characteristics. Here’s how you can tell if you’ve been in Nebraska that long…

1. You're always scanning the sides of the road for deer, no matter where you are.

2. "Crick" and "warsh" sound perfectly normal to you.

3. ...And so does "I seen that."

4. You get annoyed with the "traffic" when there are four or five cars ahead of you.

5. You dread driving in the spring even more than driving in the winter thanks to our massive pot holes.

6. You refer to all stores in the possessive (Shopko's, Piggy Wiggly's, Kroger's, Wal-Mart's).

7. You laugh at those people who run out and stock up on supplies when there's a little snow in the forecast.

8. It doesn't even seem unusual when the weather changes from snowy to sunny and warm over a single day.

9. You've got a rather loose definition of "shorts weather."

10. You go to multiple county fairs in the summer...because why wouldn't you?

11. You've been to the world's top-rated zoo so many times that it's not even a big deal anymore.
