Well spoken, I mean, written, Aaroneet.
I have to go to my youngest cousin(J)'s christening tomorrow. I have had an aversion to small children since I was four--when my first youngest cousin, M, was born.
The last time I saw the side of the family which I am about to visit tomorrow, I offended my aunt and uncle. What was so offensive, in their opinion, was that I didn't want to play or interact with my cousin (J's older brother, B).
I don't know how to act around small children! I have no maternal instincts or any of that nonsense. My aunt confronted me then and asked me, "Are you afraid of little kids or something?" I was honest. "Yes," I replied. She thought I was being immature and should remember all that she had done for me (bought me a lot of expensive crap). Am I B's aunt? I may be 14 years older than him, but legally/technically, I'm not his aunt!
So tomorrow, hopefully, everyone will be focused on J's christening and I'll be able to read my book in peace. Of course, I have this nagging feeling that I should apologize to my aunt and uncle and B...but how? and for what?
