Aunt Quotes that Prove She’s Your Biggest Fan

There is no one who loves you more than your parents.

Except maybe your aunt — and these aunt quotes will prove it.

The bond between a child and their aunt is extra special.

An aunt has the wisdom of a parent but the heart of a friend.

Why are aunts so awesome?

Aunts lack the discipline that moms and dads have, so you aren’t afraid to tell them your deepest secrets, like how you accidentally broke your mom’s vase or how you think Grandpa Frank is kind of smelly.

An aunt is your best friend, your cheerleader, and your confidante. 

Check out these 30 aunt quotes that prove that your aunt is your biggest fan (and you’re hers too.)
