We’ve been doing it for over three hundred years now, and we’re not too shy to say we’re just about the best in the world at it. There really doesn’t have to be an occasion to entertain in the South. Just about any excuse will do, from the anniversary of your friend’s divorce (a “comfort” party) to national flag day (Southern girls are always eager to show the flag the respect it’s due). Parties in the South have always been big affairs. In pre--Civil War days, it was a long way between plantations on bad roads (or no roads at all), so parties lasted for days on end. The hostess spared no expense, with lavish dances, beautiful dresses, and meals that went on and on, with all the best dishes the South had to offer: from whole roast pig to wild game stew. After all, plantation parties were a circuit. You might go to twenty parties a year, but you were only going to throw one--so you better make it memorable, darlin’. Grits work hard to keep this tradition alive. The Junior League and Debutante balls are not just coming out parties for our daughters, god bless them, they are the modern version of old Southern plantation balls. The same is true of graduation, important birthdays, yearly seasonal galas, and of course our weddings.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Deborah Ford" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/deborah-ford/entertaining-is-a-way-of-life-for-the-southern-girl-we-ve-been-doing/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ad3/deborah-ford-5148_civil-war_entertaining-is-a-way-of-life-for-the-so_366820.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ad3/deborah-ford-5148_civil-war_entertaining-is-a-way-of-life-for-the-so_366820.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/ad3/deborah-ford-5148_civil-war_entertaining-is-a-way-of-life-for-the-so_366820.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Entertaining is a way of life for the Southern girl.

I never particularly wanted to get married and was well into my thirties before I even got engaged. And although I am a devoted aunt, the call of motherhood for me has always sounded strangely similar to the “Warning Will Robinson!” cry on the old Lost in Space television show. Still, I consider myself a true Southern Girl, simply because, as we say in the South, my mama done raised me right. I say, “yes, ma’am,” “no, sir,” “please” and “thank you.” I am respectful of my elders, even my great-aunt Ida Mable, whose food we were never allowed to eat at family reunions. (Suffice it to say that eccentricity not only runs in my family, it pretty much gallops.) I always wear clean underwear in case I am in an accident. And I always leave the house clean before I go on a trip in case I get killed and strangers have to come into my house to get my funeral wear (this is despite the fact that I have yet to read an obituary that said, “she left a husband, two children, and an immaculate house.”) And I know things that only Southern girls know, such as the fact that it is possible to “never talk to strangers and at the same time greet everyone you meet with a smile and a hello. I know that it is possible to “always tell the truth,” but to always answer “fine” when someone asks how you are--even if your hair is on fire at the time. It is this knowledge that allows us to turn the other cheek when people say ugly things like “Southern girls are stupid, barefoot and pregnant.” Southern girls realize that, given the swollen feet and ankles that accompany pregnancy, going barefoot when possible is actually a very smart and sensible thing to do--and that the Yankees who say things like that probably wouldn’t talk so ugly if their feet didn’t hurt, bless their hearts.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Deborah Ford" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/deborah-ford/not-your-stereotypical-southern-belle-by-betsy-shearon-george-grits-i/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/79f/deborah-ford-5148_southern-belle_not-your-stereotypical-southern-belle-by_496507.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/79f/deborah-ford-5148_southern-belle_not-your-stereotypical-southern-belle-by_496507.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/79f/deborah-ford-5148_southern-belle_not-your-stereotypical-southern-belle-by_496507.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Not Your Stereotypical Southern Belle By Betsy Shearon, George Grits I grew up being more interested in…” — Deborah Ford", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/southern-girls/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/southern-girls/", "name": "Southern Girls Quotes", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/southern-girls/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/1ca/deborah-ford-5148_four-seasons_southern-girls-know-their-four-seasons-r_2441035.jpg" }, "description": "Browse 16 Southern Girls quotes by 9 authors.
