Auntie bought some eggs from a mysterious vendor at the market, driven by food cravings intensified by the full moon's energy. To her surprise, mini aunties hatched from the eggs, throwing big Auntie's life into delightful chaos. Suddenly, with a squad of tiny assistants by her side, every aspect of Auntie's life was meticulously taken care of. But one day, just as mysteriously as they had arrived, the mini aunties departed, and the egg stall vanished from the market. This story draws from Niceaunties' long-standing fascination with eggs, both as a symbol and as a food. It reflects the scientific concept that "our cellular life as an egg begins in the womb of our grandmother," emphasizing the themes of familial care, love, attention, and the inevitable experience of loss. Additionally, the narrative is inspired by the whimsical fairytale "Lilliput" and an African sculpture that Niceaunties encountered in a Parisian museum.
