Aunt Kelly here!

Yes, I have been an aunt for a long time. My brother has 2 boys and a girl who are all teens. The oldest (Johnny) is off to college next year even. Ack! I remember visiting the hospital the day he was born watching his mom change one of those green tar poop diapers all kids have for their first couple of bowel movements. I knew right then I was NOT going to have any of these aliens for myself. I sure am glad I was wrong.

My sister won’t be having any kids. She has not been in a serious relationship for a long time. Pretty much since her divorce many moons ago. When I mysteriously got pregnant at 37 she got kind of excited thinking maybe she wasn’t too old to settle down and have her own. But the fates haven’t brought her a decent guy so she has given up on the idea.

Robert is an only child so no nieces or nephews from that side. Robby will not have any kids near his age in the family. My siblings and I grew up the same way though so I’m not too worried about it. My cousins were all about 10 years older than us. It’s all sort of off kilter.

Hmmm…I guess we have a fairly unusual family. Only one of my five cousins had kids of her own. We all thought that my brother would be the only one to have kids in our family. We really don’t have a large close family and I am good with that. I can’t imagine having to buy even more Christmas presents! Lol

Soooo….how do you pronounce “aunt”? I’m an “ant” kind of girl myself. Maybe that’s a northern thing?
