me too!

having mostly germanic ancestry i had some aunts just like that.

my aunt nila was scary when i was little. her brother uncle glen too. but after i was an adult i discovered that they were both sweethearts, they just looked gruff. they were acutally shy, but if you drew them out they were very interesting to engage in conversation.

now the relatives on my dad's side were heavy on the southern german blood. they tend to be kindof loud and boistrus. if personalities were personified by a dog they would be a big one that jumps up on you knocks you down and licks your face while thumping the floor with the waggy tail!
