I guess this goes under my "Mayberry Moment" category. This past Saturday, four-year old John Clay was playing "football coach" and he was heard making the following remarks:
"I will be your football coach.? I know everything about football. Rule Number One:? If you have any questions, just ask me. Rule Number Two:? If I forget the rules, everything will be OKAY! My little ones?have heard the "two rules of Mayberry" all their lives--Rule Number One, Obey all rules; Rule Number Two, No writing on the walls because it takes a lot of work to remove writing off of the walls-- so many times and I suppose?they just assume no talk is really a good?talk unless you put in two rules. And to Kim, your idea about why Ramona Wiley Bectoris forgot all about our Barney is as good as any I could come up with, and yes, how about that name! And Judy, you will get a lot of responses about the Mr. question.? It's a cultural thing here in the South. And to us it seems odd to address an older person by his or her last name only.? But Barney was so impressed with that convict he wanted Gentleman Dan?to treat him (Barney) as a close friend.? Thus calling him by his first name. Laura Lee Hobbs, Dime Store Clerk and Gold Truck Receiver Extraordinaire and my children won't address any adult without a Miss or Mr. in front of his/her name--that's just right.
