"You look awful."
That's the first thing that comes out of her mouth.

"Your welcome." She spits back at me sarcastically as soon as I enter the kitchen. "The dishes need to be done before you leave."
Aunt Beth came back home last night.
Yay!!!
Note the sarcasm..
She furrows her eyebrows without removing her stare from her laptop. So far, this exact scenario repeats every morning. She types away on her laptop, working as always, too busy to even glance over at me and kindly greet me before asking me to do things.
"Yeah, i'll get them done." I go silent squirting some dish soap onto the dry sponge and wetting it, ready to begin the chore.

I don't know how you have the audacity to even say the things you do. You're real embarrassing Aunt Beth. I feel sorry for you." I call her by her first name for the first time since i've lived with her and she stays quiet before speaking up between clenched teeth.
