Aunty Acid by Ged Backland for October 25, 2022

It must be your turn tonight, Aunty.

Aunty has the whole calendar booked.

Drunkenville

I didn’t know she lived here.

Aunty might live in “Winesburg, Ohio.” (Book by Sherwood Anderson)

Remember Otis, the lovable, laughable town drunk on the Andy Griffith show?

When did we “get woke” and became uncomfortable with making jokes over alcoholism.

I always drink alone or with somebody else.

If you don’t know who the town drunk is……….then it’s YOU!

Aunty, you’re taking everyone else’s turns!

You also take turns for village idiot?

Like you need an excuse.

It takes a village.

auntie doesn’t mind standing in for someone else who’s busy…

Luckily for Aunty, the job of Town Idiot was filled.

I rarely drink, but isn’t Auntie showing herself as a serious drinker with one in each hand?
