Reunions

I'm so not looking forward to CNY, due to the numerous busybodies crawling out of the woodwork and all over wherever you go. Freakin' annoying.

These KPCs will come up to you and discuss among themselves your life, how you look, snickering like witches high on some evil brew. They talk like you're a piece of meat they're looking to buy, licking lips anticipatorily with an unholy gleam in their beady eyes.

They ask stupid, insulting questions. They demean you. All under the guise of being nice. Nice my ass. Damn poking their noses into places where noses don't belong, more like. Get a whiff of some scent and they're all over you like a pack of hounds. Arf arf.

Like I said, annoying.

I have this whole arsenal of sarcastic replies ready. Unfortunately, I can't use them because there's always my parents to think of. Have to uphold their 'water face'. Worst job in the world.

I just have to grin and bear it, try not to choke.

Well, bite me then, you witches. Cook me for your stew. Chew on me. I'll give you the damnedest case of indigestion and diarrhoea you ever had. I'll leave a bad taste on your warty tongues, you witches. You'll be sorry you ever messed with me!

Like a friend wrote -

Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals. - Source Unknown.
