More Mayberry Parents

I just have to introduce you to two more Mayberry characters before we return to regularly scheduled programming, and I promise to keep this one short and sweet. I have told you all about Ardith’s parents and given you a special glimpse into growing up with Agatha, but I haven’t clued you in to the details on ol’ Henrietta’s parental units.

Now, I could go on and on about Double D and MJ (Doug and MaryJo to the layperson), but there’s really just one story that perfectly describes them. It’s actually a story from very recently- within the last two years.

Essentially, Bev was hanging out at Henrietta and Hank’s house with DD and MJ, and we were just catching up on the ol’ days, getting ready to go meet Smoke and MamaG for lunch before I headed home with them. DD was just sittin’ at the kitchen table in an ear-flapper hat (ears rolled up), when his phone dings. Now, I don’t think it was an iPhone, but it was most certainly a smart phone of some type. Bev made some kind of wisecrack about DD’s technology, and how popular he must be…

Then he told me that it was just his Culver’s app letting him know that his favorite custard flavor was the Flavor the Day. Bev just about fell off her chair laughing and MJ just rolled her eyes and laughed. 

I’d say we could all take a page out of DD’s book.
