When it comes to things only Southern moms say to their daughters, there are plenty of familiar favorites. I can’t keep count of the amount of times I’ve heard, “don’t be ugly” uttered in my direction by my own mother. Lately, we’ve taken to the Southern Living Facebook page to poll our audience on topics like what their favorite long weekend destinations were in the past year and what classic Southern recipes they’ve actually never attempted to make from scratch. In order to narrow down some answers to a hyper-regional point of view, we recently posed this question: Calling all our friends from Alabama! What’s something only an Alabama mom would say? The post racked up almost 1,500 comments. Below, we’re sharing the answers that were mentioned most often in those comments. It’s called “sweet home” for a reason, y’all.
