Quotes 

• Aunt Miriam : Why, Stu, is that you? Let me take a look at you. Never did fill out, did you, Stu? Are you feeding him, Dolly?

  Didi Pickles : I-It's Didi, actually.

• [Tommy and Chuckie run away after seeing Aunt Miriam] 

  Didi Pickles : Ooh, uh, Tommy's usually so good with strangers.

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : Strangers is one thing. Family is what you gotta watch out for.

  Aunt Miriam : Louis, is that you?

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : It ain't the Pope.

• Aunt Miriam : My favorite cousin! When we were kids, we were thick as thieves!

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : As I recall it, the only thief around was you, Mim. Stealing all my toys.

  Aunt Miriam : Stealing your toys? Oh, Louis, you're a card!

• Didi Pickles : Come on, kids. Time to meet your Aunt Miriam.

  [Didi pushes Tommy and Chuckie towards Miriam] 

  Aunt Miriam : Oh, Sally!

  Didi Pickles : [chuckles nervously]  It's Didi.

• Aunt Miriam : Oh, Tommy! Oh! Why, he's the spitting image of you as a baby, Louis! And you too, Stu!

  [whispers to Didi] 

  Aunt Miriam : I'm afraid it's the Pickles women who get the looks, Kelly.

  Didi Pickles : [chuckles nervously]  It's Didi.

• Aunt Miriam : I hate to butt into your life, Ginny, but when are you gonna give up this teaching nonsense and become a full-time mother?

  Didi Pickles : It's Didi.

  Aunt Miriam : [sniffs the mashed potatoes]  And shouldn't you put a little more garlic in those potatoes?

• Aunt Miriam : Mmm! Delicious roast. Wish you'd taken my advice on the potatoes, Fifi.

  Didi Pickles : It's Didi.

• Angelica : Tell us another story about when you and Grandpa were little, Aunt Miriam.

  Aunt Miriam : Oh, isn't she just a dolly? Drew, this child is a wonder. She's so smart and polite and well-behaved. I do believe she reminds me of someone. Oh, I know! She's just like ME!

• Aunt Miriam : Louis was always making mischief as a baby. Remember the time you snuck into my room and opened the window above my bed and I got sick? He was such a rascal.

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : I did no such thing! That was you, Mim! You opened my window and got me sick!

• Aunt Miriam : I don't understand it, Louis. They took one look at me and ran away. And I'm usually so good with kids.

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : Yeah, right.

  Aunt Miriam : It's true! When we were growing up, you adored me.

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : Adored you? Mim, you stole my toys, you got me into trouble, and you were constantly threatening to pound the living daylights out of me! I was plump terrified of you!

• Aunt Miriam : You know, Louis, the only reason I did those things to you was... Well, I was a little jealous.

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : Jealous? Of me?

  Aunt Miriam : Sure. Remember when you got stuck in that big hole in your mom's garden and those kids we used to play with, Bill and Jill, pulled you out?

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : Yeah?

  Aunt Miriam : Well, nobody would have done that for me. All the other kids liked you.

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : But they respected you.

  Aunt Miriam : No, they didn't. They were afraid of me. You were the leader. And, well, since I was older, I was a bit... jealous.

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : Jealous? Gee, Mim, I.. I... I never would have known.

  [Miriam hugs Lou and he hugs her back] 

• Grandpa Lou Pickles : You know, Mim, I gotta admit you always were my favorite cousin.

  Aunt Miriam : Louis, I was your only cousin.

  Grandpa Lou Pickles : True.
