You Know You're Dutch When...

There is a saying that goes, "If you're not Dutch, you're not much!" Of course, it is only said by the Dutch...
With a nod to my own heritage, here is a list of what constitutes being truly Dutch (even if you were born outside the country!):

The temperature is so low in your house that two sweaters is a bare minimum if you want to be remotely warm.
You open the freezer and are excited to find a container of ice cream, only to open it and discover it's full of homemade soup or 'stamppot'.
You were green long before it was popular.
You love sauerkraut, especially when it is mixed with mashed potatoes and sliced Oktoberfest sausages.
You get a chocolate letter every year for Christmas.
You know that Gouda is the best cheese ever.
You have cousins who are over 6'4" and wear size 13 shoes.
You love the colour orange.
Your Oma had a calendar with everyone's birthdays and wedding anniversaries spelled out in capital letters. Bonus points if it hangs in the bathroom!
Sometimes you forget the English names for such things as living room, sugar, grandfather, and grandmother.
You have soup and open-faced sandwiches for Sunday lunch.
You have never met half the relatives at your family reunion.
Why recycle when you can just re-use!
You have at least one pair of wooden shoes in your house.
You make the bed in your hotel room.
When looking in the fridge, you never trust that the yogurt or margarine containers contain what the label says.
You have trouble shopping for hats... There should be at least two sizes: "One size fits all" and "Dutch".
All your aunties are bigger (and often tougher) than your uncles.
