It’s always nice when family comes to visit.
Who am I kidding? Of course it’s not – especially not when it’s my family.
My Aunty Mandy, aka The Mauler, dropped in for a visit this week. Cost me a bloody fortune in the end, keeping my husband out of her clutches. Bitch.
Just to explain, they call her The Mauler because she will throw herself, on her back, with her legs open, in front of any man she sets her sights on. And let me tell you she isn’t fussy about which man she chooses to maul – especially when she’s pissed.
Actually, I tell a lie, because Mandy usually sets her sights on one bloke: Dad. It’s only after she’s struck out with him that she takes out her frustrations on the next bloke she sees. She’s not fussy who they are, as long as they are breathing and have a penis. And given the levels of sexual desperation of most of the men this family knows, there’s usually a queue to be the bloke standing closest to Wolf when he fends off Mandy’s advances for the umpteenth time. Ew.
One of the few things I still sort of love about my father (and trust me, there aren’t many) is how he’s always managed to say no to Mandy. Even when he and Mum had had the hugest fights and Mum had stormed out of the house telling him to “do whatever the fuck you want”, and then Mandy would plant herself in his path with her white trash take-me-now charms on display, somehow he’d say no when it would have been much easier to say yes. I’m not sure how he resisted all these years, but it is kind of honourable of him – in a fucked up way.
I guess Wayne must have the same honourable blood flowing in his veins because, apparently, he also said no to the easiest lay this side of Corrina Balani. There was nothing stopping him – what with Mum being inside and everything – but he didn’t go there. Go Wayne, what a Saint!
But Mandy has gone now, to spread her love (and her legs) in other parts of the world, and things have returned to normal.
I like normal – long may normal last, I say.
