If your grandma has ever burped in your ear......

you might be a redneck.

My in-laws are about as country as country can get (git). They're a husband/wife truck driving team and make East to West Coast runs in their "Brooks & Dunn" model rig. :) My mother-in-law takes great pride in how she decorates the inside of that thing....lots of flowers and lace -- exactly what you'd expect to find a tractor-trailer, right? But, honestly, they're the most kind and generous people I've ever met. They'd give up anything they have for someone else. I'm fortunate to have such sweet in-laws.

Anyhow, our neighbor sometimes takes Noah to school, along with her little boy. She called me last week to tell me about a conversation they had in the car. She said they were talking about grandparents and little Noah said, "Yeah, I have a grandma and she's really fun. She likes to pretend to whisper in my ear and then she burps really loud." My neighbor was dying laughing when she called and she was like, "He's joking, right?"

Uh, no. 'Fraid not.

If you're ever driving on the interstate and you see a Brooks & Dunn truck with an angel on the top alongside the words "Heaven Bound", just give 'em the honking signal and their truck'll play a little Amazing Grace for ya! And tell em Amy sent ya!
