Dial A for Aunties (Aunties, #1)

by Jesse Q. Sutanto

“Easy,” Big Aunt sniffs, shaking her head. “I don’t think it’ll be that easy.” “Why not?” Second Aunt says, raising her chin. Big Aunt shrugs. “Because it’s never easy. Otherwise people would get away with murder all the time.”

“These kids, they’ll only understand what we’ve given up after they have children of their own.” This is what always happens when one of my generation dares to talk back to our parents. They band together and reduce us to kids having a tantrum, dismissing our words so we can’t pierce their armor.
