Aunties

I have memories from when I was 5 or 6 and visiting my grandparents in their apartment on Brighton Beach. My Grandfather's sisters Gloria, Rebecca, and Charlotte would be there. They wore red, orange and pink lipstick sometimes going over the lip line of their huge mouths. They'd bend towards me to pinch my dimpled cheeks. I always feared that I would be swallowed in the crack of their enormous bosoms. Now I am those Aunts.
