Pooties - It's All Relative

by: Khloe

Mon Feb 25, 2013 at 19:19:36 PM EST



Most folks have relatives who make them cringe. A cousin who is a rabid teabagger, or an uncle who bases his opinions of you on how much you make per year. The pooties have an aunt who they prefer to avoid. She is loud and proud and larger then life. She has become a legend throughout pootie and woozle communities for her cooking and her antics. I would like to introduce you to Aunt Bertha.

Aunt Bertha has many habits the pooties find disturbing.

The minutes can't tick by quick enough until Aunt Bertha leaves.

Her visits are always memorable.

Even after Aunt Bertha leaves, her name is still spoken in whispers. Until her next visit.......

Because sometimes it needs to be said (2.00 / 19)
In fact, Aunt Bertha has her very own theme song.

Back after supper to laugh more ...

No Bertha here, but I find myself in the role of the embarrassing relative nowadays...

The only Aunt Bertha LOL I've seen before is the one with Sparky's last sight. What a treat to discover it's an entire genre!

Nope. All done until tomorrow. (2.00 / 15)
Four inches seems to be our "new normal". Today we had deep blue skies and hot sun. You?

Tomorrow's storm got downgraded a bit (2.00 / 15)
It's shifted to the east. Now only expecting 6 inches. We can manage that easily.

Oh sweet Jesus! Tears running down my face! Paddy is doing lap duty, (2.00 / 15)
I wish you could have seen his sweet cat face.  Like he was saying, "who Bertha?"  So I told him, "she's one of the Butt sisters".  Like he understood that!  Thanks Khloe, you never disappoint.  Oh, and just say "no" to spandex!

I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.

I never had an Aunt Bertha... (2.00 / 8)
but some of my nieces and nephews have been known to call me Crazy Uncle t. I think it might have to do with the way I act when I'm working on something - at least that's what one of my nieces said when I was patching drywall for her.

No matter where you go, there you are...

You aren't crazy (2.00 / 7)
Unless you count your crazy good taste in music.

Speaking of such things - (2.00 / 7)
I noticed in the F Bomb this morning that it is the anniversary of the birth of my favorite Beatle, George Harrison. I wonder if he wrote about Aunt Bertha. Sounds like a song he could have written with Eric Idle...

I read once (2.00 / 3)
that everything in life is relative except your relatives, they're constant. Enjoyed your diary a lot, thanks.
