Mr. Coffee County
My aunt called me today to congratulate me on Peace Corps. Then of course she proceeded to give me all the family news, including that Frank the Marine (who, if you remember, my grandmother is planning for me to marry) is living with my grandparents, which I hadn't realized.
So I told my aunt that Grandma is planning on me marrying him - I thought she might think it was funny. Her response: "Oh no! You need to marry a Mr. Rockefeller type, and he's more of a Mr. Coffee County!" (Coffee County is the very poor, rural farming community where my grandparents live).
Nice to know that somebody has high hopes for me. Don't think I really care about marrying a Rockefeller, though.
