It's Time for Another Nostalgic Sunday
This morning I've been thinking of other famous "aunts" in addition to Aunt Bee, in the world of TV and literature. Here's a few I've come up with:
Aunt Polly -- Tom Sawyer
Aunt Pittypat -- Gone With the Wind
Aunt Clara -- Bewitched
Auntie Mame -- Mame
Auntie Em -- The Wizard of Oz
How about you? What famous aunts have I forgotten? To fit in my nostalgic category, they can't be current.

"But in the east the sky was pale and through the gray woods came lanterns with wagons and horses, bringing Grandpa and Grandma and aunts and uncles and cousins." -- Laura Ingalls Wilder
(Auntie Sandie) lol Just stopping by to say hello.
ReplyDeleteHey Auntie Sandie! Now THAT is funny!! And very clever!!
DeleteOh I love me Aunt Bee and the whole show. I don't have any to add to your list.
ReplyDeleteHi Terra! Aunt Bee is THE BEST in my opinion, too!! Thanks for stopping and commenting!!
DeleteI like talking like Aunt Bee in that slightly falsetto voice. ;) She was the ultimate huggable aunt.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! Oh, that's funny! I wish I could hear you talk like that! ....AnDEEEE! :)
DeleteAUNT JEMIMA.
ReplyDeleteI know what you're thinking, but YES, she DID appear on TV. I saw her the other day sitting on Archie Bunker's kitchen table!

Oh Stephen T. MC! Leave it to you to come up with an answer like that! :)
DeleteOh dear. No aunts to add to your list - just a sad anecdote. I was never a good aunt - and now I am a great aunt. Which I find terrifying.
ReplyDeleteOkay, Ms. EC....Now my mind is really mixed up!
DeleteHi Becky, your blog looks very pretty! What about Francie's aunt in "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"? I don't remember her name right now, but I do remember what she looks like.
ReplyDeleteHave a super week!
Hugs,
Kathy M.
Hi Kathy! Thank you for the compliment! And WOW...great answer! I would've never thought of Francie's aunt! I had to look it up....it's Aunt Sissy. I need to reread that book!
DeleteBECKY-O ~
DeleteThat's one of my all-time all-time favorite novels, despite the fact that I'm not a girl who ever lived in Brooklyn. I think that says a lot about the story and the writing.
I have a first edition copy of Betty Smith's classic which I have read probably three times. And I think I'm due to reread it again soon.

'Loyal American Underground'
Well, Stephen T. McC! Somehow I missed your comment and passed you by! My sincere apologies! I have no idea how that happened...except I'm nuts! And that's really cool about you loving that book, too! Beautiful writing crosses all genres, huh? Thank you!
DeleteWhat about Aunt Fran from Mama's Family? That's an older one for you! Hope you are well and maybe I will see you tomorrow at C&C!
ReplyDeleteOh, Karen! That's a fabulous answer! I should've thought of her because I LOVED Mama's Family!! Vicki Lawrence was hilarious in that! Thank you for commenting! Oh, I hope to make it to C&C tomorrow...not sure yet, though. Thank you!
DeleteAunt Alexandra from To Kill a Mockingbird...forever trying to make Scout a lady.

Hi Pat! Wow! I would've never thought of her! Another book I need to reread! Thanks!
DeleteFussy old skinflint Aunt March in Little Women. She made Jo work so hard by promising her a trip to Europe and then she took Amy instead. She put everybody down, no one was good enough for her. She did come through in the end, but at what a cost.
ReplyDeleteMarcia, that is a FABULOUS answer! I'd totally forgotten about Aunt March. You are so correct about her, too!! Thanks so much for stopping and commenting!
