AUNTIES ARE LIKE the perfect combinations of mammies and friends. Or mammies and enemies, who knows?
1. The sound aunt
This aunt is usually closer to you in age than the rest. She takes you out and you actually look forward to it. She’s basically like the big sister you never had, but will spoil you with the zest of someone who has a job. Treasure this aunt, she’s rare.
2. The wannabe sound aunt
Like the sound aunt in that she’s the complete opposite of the sound aunt. She tries though, bless her, and used to give you archer’s aqua in her house when you were 17 so there’s that.
Going to this aunt’s house is a joy, as you know she’ll have cooked something AMAZING and will send you home with a bucketful of leftovers. AUNTIE ANN’S SHEPHERD’S PIE!
Is best known for tagging you in countless aunt-niece memes and likes literally everything you do on Facebook–but you don’t even mind because she’s like your best pal.

6. The aunt with the treats
You used to love going to her house because she’d constantly have the BEST snacks that your mam would never give you in your lunchbox. YES I’LL HAVE A WAGON WHEEL.
This aunt has the best stories and she’s an all-round gas ticket. Family gatherings are worse when she’s not around, and she’s bound to be the first to get some kind of reluctant singsong going.
You only see this aunt once in a blue moon as she lives in Australia or the States or somewhere equally as fancy. But when you DO see her she’s full of stories and genuinely wants to know what you’ve been up to the past million years.
