Aunt
My aunt sleepwalks and talks. One day she was found sitting on her bed, talking nonsense with her eyes wide open. I was seriously expecting her to turn her head around and vomit at us at any moment. I can see the day I will wake up in the middle of the night and see her standing by my bed.

Vomiting aunts
When I hit this: 'I was seriously expecting her to turn her head around and vomit at us at any moment', I started to laugh, despite having a mouthful of tea, and was forced to choose between spitting it out or giving a medical examiner a good laugh. It reminded me of a family favourite about my own aunt -- When I was younger, I was out one night with my aunt and uncle in New York City; we'd out for a few pints and had a rather large supper, and on the way back my aunt was complaining about feeling ill. A few blocks left to go, and she suddenly tells us to hold on, turns away, and then between two parked cars just lets loose with a stream of vom worthy of Linda Blair. My uncle and I were of no help; seeing my proper, ladylike aunt throwing up on a crowded city sidewalk made us laugh so hard we had trouble breathing, and to this day it's her kids' favourite story to hear about their mother.
