You read this title and immediately thought of a particular aunt. You already have a favorite aunt in mind. Is she your mom's best friend? Or you can be honest, maybe you are the aunt you thought of first. Every family has that one aunt who knows everything, gives the best hugs, and spills the best tea. At every family gathering, there's that aunt you love who always brings you gifts and treats you right. She's often the one who celebrates your successes and maybe also asks a lot of uncomfortable questions, but those usually come from a place of care.

Whether you were thinking of your aunt or realizing you might be that aunt, this is a special occasion to celebrate them. And the best way to do that is the Cheezburger way: with memes! No matter if you have that fun aunt, that cool aunt, or that aunt who always asks invasive questions, you'll relate to these auntie memes.

Aunts are special family members. They cheer up family gatherings, and they are always somehow involved in everything. They're not your parents, so they can be a little more relaxed, and they're not siblings, which means they can give you advice without you taking it too personally. As they are somewhere between a parent and a sibling, they have combined wisdom, love, and humor. That's why aunts are so lovable. They know when to be supportive, when to be funny, and when to question your life decisions.

Are you the cool aunt in your family? If you are an aunt, I hope you're the fun one. That one who plays with her younger nephews, brings them gifts, and is always there for their grown-up nieces.

So sit next to Auntie and prepare yourself for the best tea. She has something interesting to tell you, and you'll definitely want to hear it.
