What ever it was she did, it seems to be divisive.

Those are the colors you see when sticking a knife into an electrical outlet.

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.

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.

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.
