You might be Dutch if....

I found this on facebook and thought it was funny(if you're Dutch that is). There's lots of "dutch groups" on facebook. Enjoy!!

YOU MIGHT BE DUTCH IF...
~ 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 Super Bowl.

~ 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.

~ Your mother's hairdo is the same at your wedding as it was at hers.

~ 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.
~ 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.

~ You are still trying to justify owning a dishwasher.
~ 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.

~ The usher never needs to ask you where you want to sit in church.
~You might be dutch if the word *shit* is a big part of your vocabualry.
~On a friends birthday u not only wish them a happy birthday but u congradulate the parents on their childs birthday.
~If the most popular flower in your garden is tulips.

~If you give your non-dutch friends druppies just to see the descusted looks on their faces.

~If you go to a school where you know someone moved there from somewhere else because they aren't related to anyone.
~ For a family reunion you would need an entire camp ground to yourselves.
~If you get chocolate letters in your christmas stalking every year... if you start studying holland in a class and end up telling things to your teacher that they didn't know about.
~If you drive all around town to save a couple bucks on groceries (when in reality you are spending that couple bucks on gas to drive around to get those deals).
~
Everyone in church passes the peppermint roll descretly during the offering right before the sermon.
~If ur house growing up was coverd with little cups, plates, and dishes that were all white with blue designs of windmills and farms.
~
You might be dutch if everytime company comes over, you have to clean the WHOLE house, even the basement storage room.
~You eat oileibollen for every New Year's Day!!
