Aunt Mary
Filed under: Lessons • Comments: NoneThanks to Olga Quinn
My Aunt Mary still lives up in Minnesota. I have tried for years to get her to move down south to live with us. She has lived alone in her big house ever since Uncle Clyde died in a car accident. Every time I talk with her about moving in with us, she tells me that she just cannot leave her church or her friends. And, she has that regular bridge game that she plays every Tuesday night. She says if she moved they would not have anyone to fill her spot in the bridge game. And she says that there would not be anyone to teach the three year old Sunday Schoolclass that she teaches every Sunday. I mean seriously there aren’t any more people in the world who could take her place if she left? Then there is the library where she reads to preschoolers every Tuesday morning during story time. She is one of the busiest people that I know, and she is way older than I am. We decided to get her a home security system for her house from St. Bonifacius home security ADT so at least we would not have to worry about her so much at night. She agreed to it only to pacify us. She’s like that.
