Here's the scoop on the nickname "goody two shoes". I had to ask my hubby since it was King family thing. (also why she is 'inky' = Irene King)
She is the second of six children. She was always Little Miss Perfect, doing things in a precise way, just so. Also a little dingy, and very smart. A great personality combination. So because of the perfection thing, her Uncle Dave started calling her goody two shoes. It makes perfect sense in the King Family.
Dave adds that it is also well known that she can "bump it to the trumpet". You also have to understand the multitude of King "isms", to get that one.
She also does a perfect imitation of Lily Tomlin, as the telephone operator, if she can keep a straight face, not easy for our Inky.
I just noticed she gives a brief synopsis of her story in her profile.
