Unwanted reminders
The diabolical laughter of children, mixed with the thunderous boasting
of the older men to stroke their very fragile ego. Not to forget the painfully obvious criticising stares of the women.

*Sigh, How I hate family reunions.

I didn't even know we had these much cousins or my mother have these much siblings. Every reunion, the number keeps on increasing! Where did all these people come from?

One more kid that will try to climb unto my back. Just so, I can be their 'magnificent' horsey.
I swear to god,
I'll yeet them out the backyard.

"Kurt! Just on time. I've been looking for you."

Said the overly preppy fake ass voice.

It's her.

Why did I agree to go all through this again?? Oh right. My parents promised they wouldn't bother me for the next weekend. Meaning, I can go full on weeb in peace.

"Hello, Auntie. What a misfortune, I have been avoiding you."

I said while returning her fake ass smile.

"You're really funny."

She said while 'giggling'. My dog, Max can even say that's fake and he's convinced his own tail is his mortal enemy.

"Who said I'm joking? I hate seeing your face."

I deadpanned at her, indicating that I am serious.

"Oh come on. By the way, You found any girlfriend yet?"

She said quickly changing the subject. How can this aunt of mine have a thick face? Is it her foundation? Maybe it is.

"No, I have not. Is it necessary to ask me these things whenever we meet?"

Clearly irritated, why can't this woman take the hint and back off.

"Really?!?"

She gasped, pretending to look shock.

"But men your age already have family and stuff. At your age, you can't get a girlfriend?? Wait- even back then you never have, even once."

She said in a loud voice making sure that atleast a mile radius, she can be heard. Laughing when she gets the attention she wants, which by the way she often gets by humiliating me.

I swear, this aunt of mine have a 99.9% chance to be the reason why I'm going to prison. Apparently this old hag is the wealthiest in the family. So everyone let's her do whatever she wants so they can kiss her ass.

Pissed off and fed up. I retorted without thinking much about the consequences.

"Well, People your age is already six feet below the ground. Did I tell you;

'Oh auntie, you already passed the due date. There's still time to catch up. So, just go on and bite the dust.' "

I said with a 'caring, full of worry voice' and some beautiful eyes to add some hurrah.

Silence enshrouded the room. A snort was shortly heard but it eventually turned into a cough. Again, silence enclosed the room.
