HelpRamonas in pop culture ...
in reply to a message by Raya
I just remembered, and had to look it up in V's copy, but in Ramona Forever, Ramona is irritated by her friend Howie's uncle singing "Ramona, I hear the mission bells" and is tired of having grownups sing that whenever they first meet her.
So evidently, even fictional characters don't escape popular associations. lol
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I looked up the song, because I'd never heard it - it's quite pretty!

I never heard that song in my life, so I had no idea what Uncle Hobart was talking about. Now there's a name you don't hear much, anymore.

I haven't heard the song in forever and had to look up who it's by: Jim Reeves.
Hobart is pretty unusual. But, talking of kid lit, another childhood favorite, Jamie Gilson, had a series of books where the main character was a kid named Hobart "Hobie" Hanson." "Thirteen Ways to Sink a Sub" is the first in that series, and it's worth a read.
