Discussing Aunt Lulu With My Sister

Aunt Lulu is brilliant, a genius. Are you daft? She is insane. Her ideas are innovative and selfless. Her notions are nuttier than a walnut tree. She is an enigma, elusive and enthusiastic. Did you get the name right? She is certifiable, headed for a psych ward. I have her name and her number thank you. She is the most intelligent woman I have met. Did you ever meet our mother? She was the bright one. Did you ever listen to Aunt Lulu? Did you ever hear her words? Mom said she was crazy, and that’s good enough for me. She is insanely sane. She is a diabolical disaster, bipolar, on lithium. And that makes her crazy? Mom said she was; that is good enough for me. Now who is the crazy one? Please give her a chance. No thanks. My mind is made up.

Hmmm...I would like to meet Aunt Lulu and see whether she is magical and marvelous or whether she is certifiably cuckoo.
