A lot of time a daughter of your cousin will call you uncle are a close friend of the family daughter will call you uncle when in fact you are not just know the daughter though her dad or mom.
So sweet ♡. Shannon loves Luann so much and is afraid of doing something that will disappoint her. Luann understood this and decided to hug her instead of destroying the moment by correcting her grammar. Luann is a beautiful person and Puddles is happy for them.
This reminds me of the scene in the movie UP THE DOWN STAIRCASE, where the lovesick Alice writes a letter to the English teacher she had a crush on, and he just corrected her grammar, spelling, etc.
Poor Alice then committed suicide, and that SOB was totally indifferent!!
I have a fairly neutral American accent, so I pronounce “ant” and “aunt” the same, but some Americans say “awnt” for “aunt,” and my father’s family pronounces “aunt” like “ain’t.”
The best family are not blood but the ones we CHOOSE to have n our lives. Shannon has CHOSEN Luann as her family. If someone is both blood and chosen, that is a rare and special honor in my book.
WOW Yesterday Luann was being nice to Puddles and today she’s comforting Shannon after accidently bursting her valentine bubble. She has been portrayed as relaxed, confident and caring these last two days. I like it!
English may not have a word for this relationship, but Yiddish does. Machatunim. The family of your in-laws. My husband and I are close to the families our son and daughter married into. My daughter’s kids even call their aunt’s mom Grandma Bella. As others have said, you can never have too many people who love you.
Shannon gave a card to her “Ant” Luann but not her “Ant” Toni. Not like Toni has been as caring or affectionate towards Shannon as Luann has but it should be noted….
I don’t understand Greg’s reasoning. Luann is Shannon’s aunt, but Brad isn’t her uncle? See the January 20, 2019 strip if you’ve forgotten what I’m talking about.
