Good idea.

Sage advice.

Ok, Ok. Just calm down…

You can tell a lot about a woman’s mood just by her hands. For example, if she’s holding a gun, she’s probably angry.

Smart.

Sage advice.

What phrase do you suggest? STFU?

Same for anyone. Don’t interrupt, don’t ask for explanations, just let them talk until they want a response. Then ask questions to clarify the situation, explain any ways that they have been lied to and ask what solution they would suggest. Years of parent calls experience.

Let’s try this Aunty…“Slow down. You move too fast. Ya got to make the mornin’ last”….

“I’m sorry” is always worth a try.

Offer a full tub of ice cream and nod a lot. If that doesn’t work have her girlfriend come in. And be prepared to cook them both a late night breakfast.

Adding “You’re overreacting” will make it much better.

“Yes, dear.”

Yeah, no one gets calmer when told to Calm Down. It sounds condescending.

Geeze, Aunty, take a chill pill
