When a Girl turn into an Aunt

Have u ever wondered when girls turn into Aunts, coz I do. I tried to define criteria for this based on age, marital status, no of kids and maturity but none of these yielded a formula to achieve what i was expecting.

But found a solution few days back: "Observe Kids".

Yes just observe the Kids. I found kids have a special ability in sensing human aging. If you are wondering how to classify a girl just observe the kids around her and keep your ears sharp on how they call her. Kids used to classify the girls where they see "she" fits in.

If the kids call her a "sister" then the girl is yet to become an aunt. If they call her as "Aunty", (It doesn't matter whether she is of young age or she is married or have kids) she is surely an "Aunt". It's simple as that.

Hope this helps you guys
