September 30, 2014 MY AUNT MABEL WON’T STOP EMBARRASSING ME!! AAAAAAAAAAHHH! That was me screaming. Why, do you ask? Because my Aunt Mabel has come to visit, and she won’t stop humiliating me! (FYI, sitting at the kiddy table whenever I have holiday dinner at her house is NOTHING compared to what I went through this week! :() On Monday, I invited Chloe and Zoey over after school to bake some yummy pizza. I realized we were out of mozzarella cheese, so I said, “We better run to the store and get some.” That’s when Aunt Mabel blurted out, “Speaking of running, when Nikki was a toddler she’d run around the house all day in just her My Little Pony pull-ups and a pair of Cookie Monster socks!” OMG, Aunt Mabel! That’s TMI (short for Too Much Information)!! On Tuesday, Marcy and I were studying for a French test in my bedroom together when Aunt Mabel barged in and yelled, “Nikki J. Maxwell, your room is a mess! It makes a pigsty look like a bed and breakfast!” Okay, so I’m not the neatest person in the world. But did she HAVE to bring the whole pigsty thing up? Geez! On Wednesday, Aunt Mabel and I went to the mall. I spotted Theodore and Marcus, so I waved and shouted, “Hey Theo and Marcus! What’s up?” Aunt Mabel just HAD to add her two-cents and said, “Is that really how you greet boys your age? Hay is for horses, and up is for elevators!” I turned bright red. I just got ridiculed in front of my friends…again! On Thursday, I thought I ducked her for sure so that she couldn’t say anything to make me want to change my name and move to another town. I was outdoors in the backyard writing in my diary. Suddenly, Aunt Mabel popped her head out of the sliding door and bellowed, “There you are, missy! That French test you’ve been studying for is tomorrow, and you need to be well rested. It’s past your bedtime!” Brianna doesn’t even go to bed until 8pm and it was still 7:35. Oh great, now all of my neighbors will think I go to bed earlier than a kindergartener! 🙁 The humiliation didn’t stop there! On Friday, I was hanging out with Brandon at Fuzzy Friends when Mom came to pick me up, and Aunt Mabel rode along. As we were about to leave, one of the cute little puppies jumped up and licked me in the face. So I hugged the puppy and gushed, “I just love it when these little guys give me kisses!” Aunt Mabel said RIGHT in front of Brandon, “If you don’t mind the doggy breath! Speaking of doggy breath, I always have to remind Nikki to brush her teeth. It’s impolite to go around smelling like that whenever she speaks!” That’s when I totally lost it and shot back, ”You know what, Aunt Mabes? Bad breath isn’t all that dogs and I have in common since I also feel like hiding under the bed whenever you’re around! Why? BECAUSE YOU KEEP ON EMBARRASSING ME!!” But I only said it in my head, so nobody heard it but me. I love my Aunt Mabel, but I can’t take much more of this! What do you think I should I do about my Aunt Mabel problem? Post your comments below!
Mariah says October 25, 2014 at 7:17 pm I think you should tell her what you think or u can just go-with-the-flo.
Amira says October 25, 2014 at 2:37 pm I think you should tell her how you feel odds are she stops embarrassing you . If that doesn’t work I think you should tell your parents and they might talk to her and she will listen and then stop embarrassing you. PS .Hope it works 🙂

lovenikki says October 25, 2014 at 11:19 am Just pretend it’s a joke and hopefully she can take a hint and she will stop bothering you.
LoVeRdAy says October 24, 2014 at 8:18 pm Tell your aunt to stop! That’s ENOUGH! Your 14! I’m not very good with friend problems, I’m just too crazy.
Heather The Weird says October 23, 2014 at 9:30 pm 😮 Wow, that sucks. I would politely ask her to stop. If that doesnt work, then, I dunno.. Ignore her? If she keeps bugging you, then maybe shes trying to be protective over you or something. Im not very good with friend problems, Im just too crazy.
maliah hawond says October 23, 2014 at 1:44 pm Hi Nikki, if i were you i would just tell her how you feel and tell her in a polite way she would understand how your feeling then and if that doesn’t work then just tell her the rough way!!
Hearts says October 22, 2014 at 7:34 pm Tough it out until she leaves. If you try to stand up, you could get pushed down.
bubblegumpopstar400 says October 22, 2014 at 4:23 pm That is so mean.You are totally right.You should tell Aunt Mabel how you feel about it and be polite about it.
Marylin says October 22, 2014 at 7:24 am Ok I might have a few things that might help… 1. You should speak your mind and say what you think!!! 2. Speak to her privately and tell her. I had a problem and I just told the truth about it 3. You could say something that might embarrass her and you might show her how she feels. And how you always say…. ✨ ALWAYS LET YOUR INNER✨ ✨✨ DORK SHINE!!!!✨✨
Stevie the Panda Directioner says October 22, 2014 at 6:04 am Laugh it off! Pretend it’s a joke and just laugh it off! That’s what I always do and I have loadsss of experience! 😀

Sophie says October 21, 2014 at 2:01 pm Silly tell Aunt Mabel ” you keep on saying this and I don’t like it. So you need to stop”
