Kaufman, Texas. The hometown that we all love to hate, but mostly love. Sure you can't wait to get out, but as soon as you're gone, you miss what you had before. Your best friends living a short drive away and not crying from your homework. Kaufman is the epitome of a small, country, Texas town and you can easily miss it even though we're now really on the map since our Walmart opened last year. Being from Kaufman is undeniable and here are something's that we can all relate to.
1. When people ask where you're from you always respond, "Kaufman, it's 40 minutes southeast of Dallas. You probably don't know where it is."
Because let's be honest, not even people from Dallas know where Kaufman is.
2. And when someone tells you they know where Kaufman is, you're surprised.
3. Going to Brookshire's or Walmart is a social event because you always see people you know there.
4. We like to brag that our football stadium and Dairy Queen were in a movie one time.
5. But then you add that the Dairy Queen is now shut down for not passing a health inspection.
6. You would have thought they opened an amusement park when our Walmart opened given how people would just walk around and hang out. In Walmart.
7. There seem to be only four options for college although a few of us do venture beyond the usual.
8. Kaufman Donuts are definitely the best donuts ever.
9. If you graduated class of 2014 and before, you're probably bitter that you never got to paint your parking spot.
10. Getting yelled at in the hallways to tuck your shirt in.
11. You probably hate even hearing the name "Crandall."
12. Realizing they raised the speed limit on 175 to Dallas up to 70 was a great day.
13. Little Mexico breakfast burritos. Need I say more?
14. For Halloween every year, Houston street is the place to be. No matter how old you get and if you start passing candy out instead of taking it, Houston street.
15. The whole town knows your business before you even know your own business.
16. The stop signs where the 175 frontage roads and Houston street cross is one of the biggest nightmares during the school year. (This is basically what it feels like.)
17. And no matter, you'll always remember the school song.
