Battle of the Aunts

There's a war going on in Ella's world. It's the race to be the favorite aunt. Ella has three aunts but only two have announced their intent to be the FAVORITE. Here they are...


In this corner we have the maternal aunt, Kerry Cavender.

What does she bring to the table?
  • Summers in Austin
  • Her husband has a boat
  • Three sons (Ella's only cousins)
  • She takes a mean picture
  • Ella is the little girl she always wanted but never had
  • She's a darn good cook
  • Has a cute dog named Ziggy

However she

  • Has her own children to distract her
  • Calls Ella "Pirate Girl"
  • Enjoys soap operas

And in this corner we have the paternal aunt, Kirsten Refvik.

She brings:
  • Summers in North Carolina
  • A summer condo at Myrtle Beach
  • Has no children so Ella would be number one
  • Is a vegetarian
  • Ella is the little sister she always wanted but never had
  • Makes a great cup of tea

But she

  • Doesn't have a dog
  • Has a large grudge bag
  • Has 7 OTHER nieces and nephews
  • Calls Ella "glowworm"
It's a close race but we'll have to wait a few years to see who wins.

The choice seems obvious to me. May the best aunt win!

Love it! I think they should both think they are the favorite. Best for Ella. Sorry Kerry.

Well my vote is for the Aunt with really cool Cats. Also has a boyfriend that has a lot to bring to the table but nothing was mentioned of his qualities. That okay because I think they will both do a good job in there own way.
