There are many reasons why Tansy dreads Aunt Emma coming to visit. She's rude, she's boring, and Tansy has to give up her room so Aunt Emma can sleep there. And every year, Dad makes Tansy promise to be nice – even when Aunt Emma is awful. But this year, when Tansy is left alone with Aunt Emma, she decides she's going to be the nicest she's ever been – so sickly sweet that it'll drive Aunt Emma crazy! Let the games begin…

Tansy's aunt Emma is visiting, and she dreads it. Aunt Emma is rude, boring, and takes up her room. Every year, Dad makes Tansy promise to be nice, even when Aunt Emma is awful. This year, Tansy is left alone with Aunt Emma, and she decides to be the nicest she's ever been – so sickly sweet that it'll drive Aunt Emma crazy. Tansy starts playing games with Aunt Emma, trying to make her feel uncomfortable. She tries to be overly helpful, but it backfires. Aunt Emma starts to get annoyed, and Tansy realizes that she's gone too far. She apologizes and tries to make it up to Aunt Emma, but it's too late. Aunt Emma has left, and Tansy feels guilty for her behavior. She learns that kindness is important, even when it's difficult, and that it's important to respect others, even if they don't respect you.
