Here she comes… that aunt you only see at holiday parties… waddling right towards you… with that look in her eye… that horrible look that asks;

“why aren’t you wearing that sweater with emojis in holiday hats that I gave you?”

“don’t you like the Nicholas Cage toilet paper cozy I knitted you?”

“want to see the slides of my trip to Tlaxcala?”

“why don’t you ever call me?”

You have to say something before she can ask!

We got you…
