Family Gossip At Dinner

They whisper among themselves as dinner is served in the bright dining room, and staring as if I were an unwanted gest, " He is a Casanova so guiltless, looking for married women like Elisabeth! " I keep on eating and staying cool. I would love to laugh, but a chuckle deliberately escapes getting their attention, " Look...is chuckling as a brat, he should go to the confessional and clear his conscience! " Aunt Jenny mumbles to Lisa who stares at me strangely. All through dinner, my aunt keeps on talking about my behavior... even the walls can hear her voice making me blush with shame, " When I call him to pick me up and take me to the doctor: he always makes up excuses while silly Elisabeth tickles him! " " If her crazy husband caught them in bed, he would knock all senses out of him and imagine Elisabeth breaking them up?" She exclaims dramatically by giving me a nasty look... " And yes...my nephew will have a broken nose and two black eyes!"
