Remember Beatrice? She won’t stop sending me forwards. The kind with puppies and kittens and sparkly-font captions. She apparently does not believe that I don’t know her, despite my best efforts. Nor do her relatives, as I learned when I got so exasperated that I replied-all last time.
From: Peggy (sassy_lady)
To: Sarah
Sarah if you are Tom’s daughter, Bea is your aunt. REDACTED is her married name. She is on facebook along with REDACTED her daughter who would be your cousin. Not sure how she got your email but my guess is from another relative, possibly my dad (REDACTED).
Editor’s note: I wish to expunge all exasperation from the record. The lovely sassy midwestern Peggy and I have been corresponding. She is a complete dear and I’m completely apologetic for ever being the least bit bothered by Aunt Bea’s puppies and sparkles.
