My mother used to tell me how my great aunt was the ugly duckling, how she was lucky to marry the man who did work on her house, and it was such a shame he died in an accident not long after. No one, my mother said, had ever expected Aunt Laura to marry.

I don't think mom had ever met Aunt Laura, who was my dad's mother's sister.

My dad's mother was a very attractive women and sure of herself.

So when I met Aunt Laura... I was surprised to find that she looked like Bunny in my mother's family, my Aunt Bunny, who was the best looking daughter according to the family.

Both of them were teachers.

Just wanted to share that memory.
