It can be startling for a lot of people, but my sweet aunties are extremely competitive people. They can’t even play snakes and ladders without debating. It perpetually begins in the name of fun but somehow evolves speedily into a big rivalry. Even something like rice becomes a sticking point when my aunts are together. I recall one winter where they even had an argument over who owned the best rice cooker. No one had ever witnessed so much rice cooked in so many distinct manners; it was extremely impressive. Ultimately, my second aunt was unanimously declared the victor. The funniest thing was, none of their families used to consume that much rice before.
