Wait… So, Who All Is Coming?
My aunt tends to repeat an idea multiple times, even if she heard and understood it clearly. At this family gathering, only my younger sister and I are in attendance. The other three members of my family did not come. This conversation ensues.
Aunt: “Is your mother coming?”
Me: “No, she had to do [event].”
Aunt: “Huh? Your mother’s not coming?”
Me: “No, she won’t be coming.”
Aunt: “Then your dad?”
Me: “No, he went with my mother to [event].”
Aunt: “Oh, he’s not coming, either?”
Me: “No, he’s accompanying my mother.”
Aunt: “Then how about [Older Sister]?”
Me: “No, she had to do something for school.”
Aunt: “Oh, [Older Sister] is also not coming?”
Me: “No, she won’t be able to make it.”
Aunt: “So, your mum, your dad, and [Older Sister] are all not coming?”
Me: “No, they won’t be coming.”
Aunt: “Huh, they’re all not coming?”
Me: “No, they’re all not coming.”
Aunt: “So, it’s only you and [Younger Sister] here today?”
Me: “Yes, it’s only me and [Younger Sister].”
Aunt: “Only the two of you?”
Me: “Yes, only us.”
Aunt: “Only the two of you, and the rest of your family aren’t coming?”
Me: *Facepalm*
