Aunt Bee is not Barney's aunt. We discover this in "Aunt Bee's Invisible Beau" when Andy and Barney are discussing what Andy should do about Barney discovering that Orville Hendrick has a son and is married. Barney says, "If she were my aunt...."
So they must be cousins on Andy's mother's side. Or, of course, they could be distant cousins, such as second or third cousins, but just drop the second or third part. That's my theory anyway. What's your theory?? Mr. Schwamp > Now for my next question. How are Barney and Andy cousins? Aunt Bee >(Taylor) must be Andy's Aunt on his Father's side. Barney calls her >Aunt Bee, but so does everyone else in town. Does anyone know the >answer? I sure don't. >Harvey _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://mail.wbmutbb.com/mailman/listinfo/wbmutbb_wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
