Now, sweetie, you know that your Auntie Barbara adores you beyond all reason. And so it grieves me to have to be the one to break this bit of bad news to you, but really you are a big girl and must face the truth.
You are the victim of a cruel universe. You have been saddled with the most awful of fates for a girl.
You have a very clever and very articulate mama. This means that not only will she deal with your various little quirks handily but she will be damned amusing about it in front of other people! You will spend your life being the target of knowing looks and little secretive smiles from her friends and there's nothing to be done but to suck it up and learn to deal.
The only consolation I can offer you is my deep and abiding belief you are at least as clever as your mama... and get to inflict all the joys of puberty upon her come the day.
