My beloved Aunt Eloise and her Freeper granddaughter - Should I say something?
My brother tells me that our Aunt Eloise is very happy that her granddaughter Britney, has been accepted at Liberty University.

I've always been close to my mom's youngest sister but this is too much.

Can I call her up and ask her what young Britney's major is going to be?

Constitution Shredding

Torture and Christian Teaching

Flat Earth Theory

Dinosaurs and Cavemen

Geo Centric Planetology

Burka Design.

2. I understand your frustration
BUT
Aunt Eloise is more important then what Britney is going to major in and what GOS believes in
She is probably proud of all her Grandchildren and children......
let her have some peace..... Tell her you love her, instead of trashing Brit.....
JMHO
:pals:

3. my favorite aunt is a freeper
my advice is to just smile and say nothing. Sometimes you just have to love people despite some of their actions. I give my aunt slack because I know that she's had a really rough life and her religion comforts her with the thought of a greater reward in the afterlife. I disagree but if it makes her feel better :shrug:

5. So's one of mine, but she doesn't hear very well, so I can say pretty much anything
to her and she just nods and smiles.

4. Ask her why Britney's parents are illiterate.
Sorry, I just get mildly peeved at seeing the name Brittany corrupted to "Britney."

Like the parents of that basketball player who, I'd guess, intended to name him "Anthony," but ended up with "Anferny."

Though I know it's a trend, and those are unstoppable.

7. You've come up with the ideal question!
This is one I can use and then see where else she had investigated.
