-Aunt Kathy, why aren’t you married?
-I was married, I’m not what men want
-Aunt Kathy, how come you aren’t married?
-I have a good life. A lot of people aren’t married
-Why aren’t you married, Aunt Kathy?
-I guess I’m hard to get along with. I’m fun but
I want something I can’t get
-Do you want to get married, Aunt Kathy?
-Of course. I don’t know, I’m too tall
-Aunt Kathy, why aren’t you married?
-I don’t really like men, that’s a problem, plus
It’s hard for me to trust
I’ll get married when
someone takes a knee
for me—in other words,
never ha-ha!
-You’re funny Aunt Kathy. I hope you get
married again if you want to
-Thank you, sweetheart. I hope you get married too.



Love this. "Marriage" an institution that receives all our projected hopes and dreams, whether or not it realizes them.
Nice. Reminds me of the same question put to me by Vietnamese people who hardly knew me...
