Aunt Em is a character from The Wizard of Oz.
History[]
Aunt Em was counting her chicks with her husband, Henry, as they were worried about their lives because her old incubator had broken down. Then their niece, Dorothy, arrived telling them that Miss Gulch had hit Toto for chasing her cat.
Letting Miss Gulch into her house, Em heard her say that she would take Toto to the sheriff and make sure he's destroyed. Henry assured his niece that he wouldn't let her do that. Gulch replied that she would bring a damage suit that would take their whole farm and showed them the sheriff's order that allowed her to take Toto. Feeling that they could not break the law, Em commanded Henry to pick up Toto and put him in Gulch's basket, he did so. Seeing her niece run into her room in tears, Aunt Em yelled at Gulch while Henry laughed.
When a tornado threatened her farm, Em looked for Dorothy everywhere while calling her name, but she couldn't find her. She then was led by Henry to their cellar.
Later, when the tornado passed, Uncle Henry and Aunt Em found Dorothy unconscious in her bed. When she woke up, Dorothy began to describe what to them was nothing more than a bad dream.
