You Know You're an Alles Native When...

As a supplement to my last post, where readers found out about the cursed city of Alles, here is one of those "you know you're from somewhere when..." posts, Alles edition!

You know you're an Alles native when...

You can drive your car flawlessly through 2 feet of water.
You don't worry if you get your pants wet in a puddle, they'll be dry in 20 minutes.
A picnic in the park means indoors on the concrete.
The marching band never sees daylight.
Soccer players think playing on real grass is awkward.
You hear people speaking in Catin and somehow know exactly what they're saying...
The difference between "rain" and "Alles rain" is visibility.
You've never in your life mispronounced "Alles".
You wear the same clothing all year long, no matter what the weather.
Recess is indoors and kids don't mind.
A walk to school may involve swimming, stripping, layering, or all three.
People park their cars on platforms to avoid the rain.
You can set your watch by when the rain starts to fall.
You've crashed your car at least once after going on flash ice.
You recognize a shoe or a bottle in Annerwaita that got swept there by the water.
To take the monorail you need to climb five flights of stairs.
Nobody knows what color your hair is because you wear hats all day long.
You're excited when you travel because you've never heard of a basement let alone seen one.
Most everyone has at least one Catin relative.
Most of the band kids are brass players because water is bad for woodwinds.
A flooded backyard means mud fight!
You can grow rice anywhere that has dirt.
You find coconuts in the middle of the streets from the rain and they are still good!
There are two seasons: Mostly cold and rainy and mostly warm and rainy.
Rain is more reliable for telling time than the sun.
You leave because you're tired of it all but always end up coming back!
You lose all concept of time when you travel.
When you go to the west coast people think you have a Catin accent.
Changing clothes while walking is no biggie at all.
Your shoes have spikes in them to walk on flash ice.
You do not need the spikes to walk on flash ice.
You don't give a second thought to the three inches of rain in the streets.
