I have straight hair. One of my aunts would always ask, “Who curled your hair last night?” whenever I visited. Once I visited with my girlfriend, now my wife, and she asked the same question. My gf replied, “I did. And I straightened the curly ones.” That aunt has never asked that question since.
I think someone actually ran up a full-blown “Aunt Man” parody, which I read in bemusement because it never occurred to me that there might be “real” superheroes like Tickman (feh) and Antman. Anyhow the joke doesn’t work in the parts of the country where aunt is pronounced /ɔnt/.
Got a question about the squiggles over the aunt’s head: are they supposed to be exploding sperm heads? (BTW, Exploding Sperm Heads would be an awesome name for a metal band.)

Aunt-Man – and his companion, Uncle-Woman.

My aunt taught high school English. I didn’t just want to do well in English, I HAD to!
