ABOUT THE BITTER AUNT
You’re visiting your family over the holidays and there’s always that one aunt there you dread seeing. Teeth stained from coffee and years of cigarettes she invades your personal space, regaling you with the same stories of her youth. Times have changed she says. Your thoughts race yet you are tight lipped, more concerned with getting a drink than engaging in discourse.
This is the Bitter Aunt.
