    Is this one of those Twilight Zone things? On their way to Branson, the Penny’s stop for elevenses and encounter a family departing Branson. Brittney could easily be Joy forty some odd years ago. The hair doesn’t match, but the girl has Joy’s ankles and, like Joy, inherited her father’s lack of a chin. The father reminds her of her own dad, Cloyd Pinch. The resemblance, down to the too-short tank top and attendant butt crack, is eerie. In fact, it was the resemblance that attracted her to the teen-aged Burl. They both had the same squatty bowling pin shape, and the same tendency to try to try to put their hands under her blouse when her mother wasn’t looking. .And with those sunglasses, the mother reminds Joy of her own mother who always wore sunglasses on account of the photo-sensitivity caused by certain medications she was on. Joy wonders if she gives Brittney the same advice her own mother gave her:.“Shut up!” and “Leave the door open when you’re in there with your father.”

    Mountain oysters, umm umm good! Don’t even need ketchup. Eat ‘em right out of the frying pan. And no, they don’t taste like chicken, maybe chicken gizzards.

    Better a name from the past than a lame try at a current lame reference.

    It’s refreshing that it’s set in that era. No cell phones. No Internet.
