Tea time
Aunt Mable sat down and proceeded into her usual diatribe that I would always nod off halfway through on, and this time was no different. I woke up to her tearfully exclaiming "Why would someone do such a thing?" I attempted to probe her because this was unusual. I'd never seen her cry before, always only fierce rage. Try as I might though I could never get anymore words out of her, only tears.
