The Late Great Minnie Pearl... In the early nineteen hundreds many a young country girl moved to the big cities to seek gainful employment. These delicate country flowers would often room in polite boarding houses. Five young lasses who were all living in the same house all had dates on the same evening. Like most girls they were curious about the others romances, however it was considered impolite to ask about such personal subjects as kissing. So on the afternoon of the dates the girls made an agreement, for each kiss they granted their dates, when each girl came to the breakfast table she would say the word "" morning"" for each kiss. Bright and early that morning as each girl entered the dining room she was greeted by the matron saying "" Good day and how are you today?"" When the first girl entered the matron asked, "" Good day miss Ruby, how are you today? "" Miss Ruby grumped, "" Fine."" and took her seat. As the second girl entered the matron asked, "" Good day miss Amber, how are you today?"" The girl replied"" Good morning."" , and blushed as she took her seat.Miss Emerald said, "" It's a beautiful morning this morning."" and sat shyly looking down. Miss Opal said,"" Good morning, lovely morning this morning isn't it? "" When miss Pearl bounced into the room the matron asked, "" Good day miss Pearl, how are you this morning? "" to which miss Pearl replied,"" Good morning this morning, its a beautiful morning this morning, don't you think its a beautiful morning this morning, Oh, I just love mornings. ""
