My Aunt Mary...., Yeah, she definitely belongs in Daft. =/ Options

[Phyllis]

So, yeah. Apparently, I'm pregnant.


...


Well, at least according to my aunt Mary, I am.


I'm not, really. But Aunt Mary has been going around, telling our whole family, "Hey, guess what! Candice is pregnant!"

I don't know where she got this idea. My mom says that Aunt Mary thinks she is psychic, or something. If she was, you'd think she'd be able to see that most of the family can't stand her!

I'm just really irked by this. She has no right to do that, especially without confirming her suspicions first.

Why are people so nosey about when a couple is going to have kids, anyway? Just because we've been married for 2 years doesn't mean we're in an enormous rush to reproduce. Why must people always say "So, when are you gonna start having kids?" Is it completely beyond the grasp of reason that I may not want kids? Or that I may not be able to carry them, and a question like that would just remind me of that fact and upset me?

Gah! Stupid, daft people.

Sorry, end rant. I'm better now. Feel free to share your stories of crazy aunties who do unexplainable, loony things.

[cheese is funny]

wow... that sucks....

my aunt is mental... seriously... i tend to avoid her... i havent spoken to her in about 4 years... some of the things my uncle has told me....

[Pikasyuu]

You explained this in IRC, I was hoping there'd be a thread. XD

Your aunt is bloody crazy. I say you pee on a stick (Preggers test) and then wave it about in her face to prove that you're not. You may even want to rub it on her simply to emphasize your point.

All this talk of insane relatives. I must tell you of my psycho grandmother.

She's German, and was a young girl in the 1930s, which may explain some of this. She was a member of the League of German Maidens, the Nazi youth group - though in her defense, membership was compulsory. Anyway. She's crazy. She is exactly the kind of person who, when you sit down in a restaurant with her, will loudly and pointedly declaim "Look! Look at her! Look at what she's wearing! Can you believe that!" She will also almost certainly point at the object of disgust. During the meal, she will complain loudly about the quality of the food and/or service, within earshot of those responsible. And this only scratches the surface of her. Everything is your fault. Everything. Nothing is her fault, because she's perfect. She's also not above emotional blackmail. And if you dare to argue with her, when it becomes clear you are irrevocably in the right, she will say "You're giving me a headache, I'm going to lie down", and leave.
There's more, but I'm having flashbacks, so I'm going to stop now.

^^^you kidding - never heard you talk about her before...but then again the conversation never took place. I call having the sleaziest, most dishonest members (and most on my dad's side wouldn't ya know!)

well yeah they've stole millions from us...when my father was on his sickbed...that's all I want to disclose

[LoLo]

I think your Aunt Mary and my Aunt Donna errr Donnio would get along greatly! lol

My Aunt believes that the spirit of the fetus murdered in utero (by her best friend who was always jealous of her) took over her body one day and now she can heal. She's no longer Donna because of this event, now she is Donnio. No this has nothing to do with the fact that about the same time her husband raped her and this may be her way of coping with that. nahhhh.

As for couples being harrassed to have kids and what not I feel ya Cand. When I was with my ex everyone asked us when we were going to have kids, until they found out that he and I weren't married, then it was when are you going to get married. People gah.

[monkey_called_na...]

my aunt doesnt really have any reason for her crazyness, but she belives nature heals everything and ive caught her hiding things for good luck and such in my room (diffrent color ribbons, baboo, sticks that have "healing powers", sweet grass) but i dont really mind it most of it is still there.

[Monkey the Rabid...]

I would love to tell you all about my grandparents on my mother's side, my Gammers and Bobbers, but I wouldn't know where to begin. I'll just say they're screwy. My Bobbers is obsessed with the news and various female news anchors, and my Gammers can not be quiet. The worst thing about my Gammers is that her comments tend to get stupider as they go along. Once, we drove past a McDonald's, and she said [VOICE=Gammers]"Ohh, look at that line! A lot of people must be hungry today!"[/VOICE]. There's lots of other occurences, though, too.

I still think you so go with my idea. Take me next time you visit her and claim me as your son. Tell her you had me last week and I've grown up so much since then. By the time she has a witty retort, something will be on fire. /me nods

My wisdom is beyond my years.
