My nephew and fading troubles

It is hard to believe, but my nephew will be 2 years old this November. Watching him grow has been tremendously fun. My favorite story, thus far, happened earlier in June.


I went to my sis/bro-in-law’s place to drop off something for my sister. I parked out front in the street and came in the side door by the driveway. As I opened the door, my nephew yelled, “Cort!” [He hasn't quite mastered "Uncle", it comes out ... "Unc ... Unc ... Unclcor"!]

I heard my sister say, “How’d you know that was Uncle Cort coming in the house?” A bit later, we found out. As we were talking in the front room, my nephew walked to the front window, pointed, and said, “Cahr…Cort cahr.” He was pointing at my Caprice Classic....

Later, right before I left, he started saying “Cap…Cap…Cap…Capri!”, trying to say Caprice for me.



Other "nephew corruption victories" I claim include getting him to say...

..."Dodge", which my sister drives (manual Dakota quad cab)

..."Arlo", which is what I called the Monte Carlo, soon after my parents bought their ("my") 1976 Monte Carlo when I was ~2 years old.


While he hasn't said "Monte", "Carlo" or "Monte Carlo" for me, Dad tells me that he has said "Monte" for him.... For now ... I'm settling for Caprice, since he hasn't seen my Monte Carlos yet...!

Who...me?


Uncle Cort is so silly!





Sssooo...what melts everything away for you? Whenever I see my nephew (or drive any of my Monte Carlos or my Caprice Classic), all the troubles of the world just seem to disappear. Who or what does that for you?

your cousin having a baby doesnt make you an uncle. well, unless youre from kentucky. then your cousin having a baby could make you an uncle, brother, or even a daddy.

woooooooooooops lol i guess shes my niece?
my cousin had a baby so im something to that baby lol

If your (assuming first) cousin is having a baby, said baby is your second cousin.

"Aunt" & "Uncle" are very loosely used terms nowadays anyway. People who aren't even related get called "aunt or uncle so and so". My girlfriend's mom has a long time friend that my gf calls aunt. I call my mom's first cousin's aunt. Hell, they are more like aunts to me than my REAL aunts are.

ugh,
my moms brothers daughters daughter

Yeah, the baby is your second cousin.

well what would i be to it just a first cousin?

The baby's mom is your first cousin.
The baby is your second cousin.

Let me just make sure I have it right...your mom's brother's daughter is having the baby?

lol your not understanding what i was asking but ok thx good to know

What were you asking?

Alright. Back on topic.

For me it's definitely taking a ride. Whether it's in one of my cars or on a motorcycle. I always seem to come back unwinded after hitting the backroads for a while. I love my kids more than anything, but even they get me stressed sometimes.

Of course there's always the other alternative if you're 21+.
