HOLLYWOOD - The production company that produces the "Housewives of" series was making plans to start casting for their latest show, The Housewives of Little Rock.
Production company spokesperson Howard K. Crownsound, said that the shows producer and creative consultant both learned that of the 400 wives who applied for the five parts, 397 were 16-years-old or younger.
Crownsound noted that of the other three, one was 93, one was 81, and one did not give her age, but she did say that she remembers when Lake Michigan was a little bitty old pond.
Mr. Crownsound informed the 397 applicants that he was sorry but that production company rules and guidelines strictly stated that all participants had to be at least 21.
One of the girls, Hanna Anna Poohooker, who is 14, said that she is just as good a wife as any woman who is in her 20s, 30, or even the senior citizen wives who are in their 40s.
Another angry applicant, Cora May Grassbark, 15, said that she can make cornbread puddin' just as good as any 30-year-old Arkansas wife.
Her twin sister, Flora June, noted that both girls learned about cooking from their grandma, 102-year-old Noodlette Grassbark.
She noted that they learned about trailer housecleaning from their mama Gertrude "Cooties" Grassbark. And they learned about the birds and the bees from their uncle Smacker "Hoot Owl" Riffinduck and their cousins, Dusty "Weasel" Barnsticker, Rusty "Muskrat" Barnsticker, and Cobbler "Turkey Foot" Nogginbush.
SIDENOTE: The crowd of young wives started to become quite unruly. Howard Crownsound finally had to promise that his production company would pay each of the 397 applicants $50, plus they would be provided with a year's supply of Gladiola Cornbread Mix, a brand new Sunday dress, curlers, two store bought panties, a carton of Lucky Strike Cigarettes, and two bottles of Southern Comfort Sippin' Whiskey.
