Just a Little Different

Newlyweds Julie and David drop by to visit Julie's Aunt Lorraine. She is a quirky woman, going on incessantly about her diabetes and ignoring the conversation while watching "Wheel of Fortune." When they finally leave, David mutters a comment about how his mother also has diabetes but doesn't sit around feeling sorry for herself all day. Julie knows she's hard to like, but tries to give perspective-Aunt Lorraine's husband and daughter were killed in a car accident 18 years ago. David can only whisper "wow" as they walk off, leaving Aunt Lorraine alone watching her TV.Topics: LOVING THE UNLOVELY, THE STORY BEHIND PEOPLE WE DON'T LIKECharacters: 1 MALE, 2 FEMALESParticipants: 3Author: Donna Lagerquist
