Cry uncle







Or she will confirm it.

Tim, after what I just read, this is what I imagine happens when a sister tells the kids, "OK, gang, we are going to visit Uncle Tim....."


"Yes, kids, it's a social familiar obligation that sisters must perform every once in awhile. I know he acts kind of strange and he scares you most of the time, but I promise not to leave you alone with him and I'll get you anything you want when we get back as long as you promise not to call social services if he points a finger at you."

"Can we eat out while we're there, can we, can we? PAHLEEEEASE?"

"Sure, but don't think for a minute that will stop Uncle Tim from doing something silly concerning food........"

Bullshit. You've always been the cool uncle and don't try to deny it.

If you manage to push M's face into a foodstuff make sure to email me a picture okay?

THE Michael,
I never do anything silly with food. I just encourage others to.

I'm deeply touched. I'm still never going to sniff any of my food around you. :)

classic guy-buffoonery. you noticed I avoided the word "clown" even though your pranks cried out to be described that way. My ex thought that stuff was funny too - my nephew agreed with him, but my neice just watched him warily.

You are so very brave taking on the undiluted company of a 13-year-old girl. I sometimes don't have a thing to say to my 12-year-old, and I gave birth to her. The endearment I love most about this age group is their way of shrugging and saying, "I don't know," without quite opening their lips. It's like reverse ventriloquism. Very impressive.

Thanks Kristy, This is why I am sending her directly to you. She actually likes horses, but with a little persuasion, I think she can switch to law enforcement spokspersons.

I can only dream of one day reaching the level of uncleness that you have attained. You are a master. My greatest accomplishment to date was teaching my four year old niece to blow didgeridoo with empty paper towel rolls.

Mickey, my gone walkabout friend, no one is born being an uncle (unless your siblings already have children). Teaching your niece how to turn an empty paper towel tube into a digeridoo is something she will cherish. I probably would have just taught her how to make farting sounds with the tubes.

Good Luck with your niece! Girls are not nearly as fun as boys. My 14 year old girl aka hormonal head is no fun whatsoever. She is always looking at us like we are aliens and for the past two years or so we can not kid or joke around with her. Everytime I think she is getting better she whammies me. Now my 13 year old boy is a hoot, we hve so much fun with him. But I see a change on the horizon as his voice and interests change. I just want my babies back, I would love for them to be 5 and 6 again or 3 and 4 again.

I would imagine you to be an awesome Uncle!!!!!!!!!
