A Big Embarrassment Aunt Boo

Aunt Boo posted everything on social media. Misspelling words, never using Wikipedia. Atrocious punctuation was almost laughable. Her caustic posts were anything but affable. She had warnings all the time by those who knew. She never verified facts - not a great thing to do. People were consistently threatening to sue. For she posted libel hourly, without a clue. Not caring to verify if things were true. A big embarrassment, my relative, Aunt Boo.

I grew up with a couple of neighbor lady's like that. It gets so old. Good pen.

People who speak of ideas and ideals are much more to my liking than people who speak of other people. I cannot help but feel sorry for them.

Hey, picking up on Michelle F's comment, maybe Aunt Boo will be Trump's 4th wife, once he ditches Melania (or she ditches him)… Then again, they'd probably claw each other to death, from the sounds of things...

Does Boo sound like an exotic name to you? He always picks exotic women. Right?

Sounds like the Boo in the White House (no offense to your aunt!)

Not to worry; she is not a deep thinker.
