I tell you I never knew these people. I know the Jones family I do know.. I never wanted to be like them. This is a popular saying that I hear so much these days. I always heard this when I was a child. My mother and her friends talking about someone they knew.
Who are these Jones es anyway? I wondering what and how they got the things that they have. What is it about them that makes people want to be like them. They must be Billionaires. Cause they have the cars, the money, the house, and everything you can imagine.
People want the things that they have. They sit around and envy this family. If the Jones family get a wide screen.. The Anderson family goes and get a tv bigger than that. Not worrying about the fact that they might go into debt.
Here is the History of the Saying....
The phrase was popularized when a comic strip of the same name was created by cartoonist Arthur R. "Pop" Momand.[1] The strip debuted in 1916 in the New York World, but strips appear in collections dated as early as April 1, 1913. The strip ran in American newspapers for 28 years, and was eventually adapted into books, films, and musical comedies. The "Joneses" of the title were neighbors of the strip's main characters, and were spoken of but never actually seen in person. Read more Here Wikipedia...
I tell you.. I have always wanted to meet these people. I do know I try not to buy anything I can't pay for or afford... What about you? Do you try to keep up with the Jones?
