And I only finish just before the deadline.

To be born a Southern woman is to be made aware of your distinctiveness. And with it, the rules. The expectations. These vary some, but all follow the same basic template, which is, fundamentally, no matter what the circumstance, Southern women make the effort.

And why you will never see Reese Witherspoon wearing sweatpants. Or Oprah take a nap.
