No childhood compares to a childhood that was spent by the ocean.

1. You love taking your out-of-state friends to see your hometown.

2. You also like going home because you'll always be accepted there.

3. You find sand in the most unexpected places... year round.

4. You wish you could ban all the tourists from crowding the beach because there's never any room left for locals.

5. You think visitors who refuse to go in the water because it's too cold are weak.

6. You probably have at least one story that you tell people about a time you got "sun poisoning" from spending a day at the beach.

7. And don't even get you started on how annoying it is to burn when it's cloudy.

8. But overall, it's OK because you kind of like the way your face looks when it's burnt.

9. You plan to leave for places 30 minutes earlier than you have to on the weekends just in case you happen to get caught in beach traffic.

10. You know what a "birdie" is.

11. You're pretty tired of getting invited to bonfires on the beach.

12. But you'll never get tired of being invited to go watch the sun go down on the sand.

13. And no other sunsets will ever compare to the ones you've seen.
