You know you're from Tennessee when...

Ella was letting the dogs out the back door. When she closed the door I told her to lock it. She said, "So the bad guys don't get us?" We recently had some prisoners on the lose around our town. So she heard that on the news and remembers it. I told her that it was ok because the police had "caught" them. She looks at me with a confused look on her face and says, " with a fishing pole!?!" Oh, the innocence in Tennessee.
