Aunt Giggles


Before I enchant you with tales of the tropical south, lets talk a little about Aunt Carolyn.
Or 'Giggles' as she's known.

A children's counselor by day, Carolyn spends most of her mental energy devising exhausting plot lines for unwritten cinematic masterpieces or inventing products like "Vomitrol" a foldable, rubber vomit blob you strategically place to keep others from sitting near you. While children wallow and wail, she contemplates a post-work jaunt through       Stein Mart or stopping in for an Oreo McFlurry.

A natural born comedienne, Carolyn holds back sass, jabs, and hearty guffaws in her flawless attempt at maintaining an appearance that is professionally compassionate. Should the school board catch wind of her inner dialogue while helping teenage girls work in groups, she would surely be sacked. Alas, day after day she manages to help kids while creating slapstick gold. An afternoon of Carolyn's storytelling leaves you breathless with burning sides and tears in your eyes. The voices. The expressions. She really should have her own show.


Barely reaching a hulking 5ft tall, lil' Giggles appears to be a put-together, well-mannered lady but in reality, this quick witted little troublemaker is taking in her surroundings with a sharp eye for oddities and sideways glances. Finding humor in the mundane is her specialty.  Her ability to predict human behavior has us itching with anticipation to see what happens next. 
It's her bubbly but dry, and somehow outraged personality that keeps us snickering when it is most inappropriate.
