Val: Arnold, my daughter's boyfriend thinks he knew you in HIGH SCHOOL...
Gramma Evie: Is that POSSIBLE? How old are you?!
Arnold. ....
Gramma Evie: Well zippidy doo-dah.
I’ve heard them called “cubs”, but there has to be a better name. Evie’s grin is priceless. She feels about 20 years younger, and pretty proud of herself. :-)
conean… First thing I thought also… (song of the south) zippidy-doo-dah.. would hardly be PC given the situation… and evie can’t claim ignorance by age… we’re about the same age and even I know better… (little cringe here)
I like the idea that Arnold is the father of the guy that Phil knew in high school. But I guess from Evie’s reaction in the last panel that that is not the case.
Tabby Lynn: The lady in question is Keely Smith, Louis Prima’s wife - this was part of their act. She never smiled, always looked as if she didn’t even want to be there, while he clowned around most of the time. Check out their “Old Black Magic” number sometime when you’re bored.
(I’m assuming your comment was serious and NOT facetious - if you already know Louis and Keely, my apologies)
Love it! I would never pick a man younger than myself, but then, I have only ONE man in mind. Anyone who has not heard of a “cougar”…;-) just living under a rock. I LOVE that Evie is so pleased by the way this will be receive by her daughters- GREAT! and I agree with Pearl and Peach that it may be Arnold’s son.

They call the women “cougar.”The men, “robbing the cradle.” They call the younger woman “gold digger” What do they call the younger men?

I hadn’t heard the term cougar before. She seems rather pleased with herself, she still has what it takes!

Where did the expression couger come from TV show? I always thought when an older woman is with a younger man he is after her money.

Evie deserves her own TV show - written by whatever feminist scriptwriters and producers there may be in TV Land and probably on Showtime!
