Auntie is my least favorite Aunt. She is always grumps and going on and on about how Mama should have had sons instead of Phulan and I. “If God had blessed you with sons, we wouldn’t have to break our fingers over wedding dresses.” page 3. She also is married to Uncle, who works with the government. He visits some times and brings us presents because he is very rich. Although Auntie is married to a nice man and has 2 sons, she is always ungrateful. She hates helping around the house, and never smiles. God sends miracles when she smiles. If only Auntie was nicer, than living in the desert wouldn’t be as hard.
This is a picture of what I think Auntie looks like:
This is a sculpture of Auntie made by Io and Tilda:
It is very funny seeing Auntie mess up with everything she does. When Tipu and Kalu knocked her over as they were fighting, was so funny!
This is very mean! I will have you know that I am actually quite talented! You have not given birth to sons, as I have. “‘I worry’ Auntie goes on, her fingers flying over the yellow silk. Pg. 3

You always say that sons are better than daughters, but all your sons do is play with Sher Dil. At least I help out with the camels!
Mama: Ha ha ha!
