Why? What'd she do?
What ever it was she did, it seems to be divisive.

Probably farted in Math class.
You like walking the fine line, eh? (the "eh?" is in Canadaspeak)

Those are the colors you see when sticking a knife into an electrical outlet.
“Black Brown Red Orange Yellow Green Blue Violet Gray White"

There are other versions of that one, some not for polite company.
Our teacher had put in his time in the Navy. He knew quite a list of similar mnemonic phrases. The second G was Gives and the W was Willingly. Perfect for a classroom of hormone-incensed teenage boys who wanted to find Violet.

what makes you think this is polite company?
I had a Great Aunt Sally, my Grandmother’s youngest sister. My Grandmother being the oldest child. Aunt Sally had a son via disapproved means in the early 1930s and the family pressured my Grandmother to foster (and later) adopt him. The family dynamic between youngest wild child and oldest responsible child did him no favors. He recently died.
I am convinced these sorts of controversies over seemingly unimportant issues come down to a conflict over obedience to authority, either disagreement over what is authority or a perception that someone else is ignoring or operating outside authority.
When someone is freaked out about another person’s behavior which seemingly bucks traditional convention or authority, although the second person’s behavior seems to have no impact on the first person it is because the first person is upset that the second person is breaking the perceived rule.

I gave extra credit for that.
When I first saw the title of this thread, I misinterpreted your aunt's name. Somehow, I thought you were referring to having a visit from your Aunt Flo and that made absolutely no sense to me. While there must be an astounding number of aunts named Flo in this world based on the number of women who report being visited by her, I never pictured you as someone who had an aunt so-named.
Sorry Buddy, no Aunt Flo, no Aunt anybody. Any Aunt's that may have been related to me disavowed any knowledge of, or association with me before I was 7 years old.
@flga-2-2
I fully understand and can relate. I only had two aunts to start with. One lived a 12 hour drive away and the other more than twice that distance. My tenth birthday was spent at the funeral for the one who drowned in a boating accident. I saw the other one once after that.
What's worse than Aunts in your Pants?

That went from 0 to 100 real quick...
I've always found it difficult to wrap my head around the fact that sometimes aunts and uncles are the same age or younger than their nephews and nieces.
One of my best buds in school was three years younger than his Niece Gayla. He was a year younger than his Nephew Randy. There was another cousin who was his same age and even another who was one year older than him. His oldest sibling was born 24 years before he was.
