Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for January 28, 2021

Then don’t say it to yourself…or- maybe it is yourself you need to say it to.

Then you have to speak up for heaven’s sake, Aunty!

Especially when she’s talking to herself.

I feel that way often. or grow up and act your age for a change. You are not a child anymore act like a adult. I am referring to people in their 50-60’s

“Words, words, words! I’m SO sick of words! I get words all day through, first from him, now from you! Is that all you blighters can do?”

Aunty never saw the TZ episode where the curmudgeon wished everyone to be just like him.

Sounds like it’s time to go back to the “home,” Aunty.

If it gets out of hand, just hold your hand up, And say, “ talk to the hand”.

Maybe she’s just trying to tell herself not to say something stupid, for a change.

Living with someone who has dementia and asks the same question over and over, I really wish I could say shut the hell up. But I don’t.

I often say “Will you shut up and talk”. OR get to the point.

Occasionally having ADD has its advantages—I have a LOT of practice at pretending to pay attention.

That reminds me. Time to renew my membership in Misanthropes R Us.

Just act the fool – people will leave you the hell-o alone except your friends.
