Every Time Aunt Abby Visits, by Mark Tulin

 
Whenever I’m around Aunt Abby, I say to myself, “She has too much bible on the brain. Everything out of her mouth has to be wholesome like she’s god’s gift to us mortals. And, I know her personal life sucks; she had a lot of losses. But I want to say, “Get real, Aunt Abby. The world is more complicated than your hackneyed biblical cures. If she dropped her superior attitude and frumpy clothes, people might warm up to her. But I keep quiet. I know she’s a nice person, and it’s her choice to live in a glasshouse.
