My sister Kathryn never outgrew being the spoiled baby of the family. She thinks the world revolves around her, she's manipulative and selfish and superficial and greedy, and she has appalling taste in music.
But blood is thicker than water, and I love her.

My Grand-Aunt Eulalia refused ever to be naked. She wore a special dressing-gown when she was changing clothes so she would always have something on.

In post WW2 Paris, my grandmother made a living off of prostitution.
She wasn't a prostitute herself, mind you, she worked for the police, going out to round up the working girls for their weekly checkups and STD shots.
It's always fun to start with the first sentence, and watch the eyebrows shoot up.
