Anyone else love picking on kids?
I mean in a funny way.
Like the other day, my co-worker's son was all excited about going camping. I kept buggin him saying, "You're not going camping, it's a trick, you're gonna spend the weekend mowing the lawn.

My Dad is the same way, my Mom says he used to chased kids picking apples from the backyard tree. WHy? Not because he cared about the apples but because;
"When I was a kid, we picked apples and guys chased us, so that's what I do!"

1. You know what you are?
Cantankerous and lovable. And you remind me of how my husband describes his Uncle Richard. ;)

7. I'm an uncle of 6
I thought I would spoil them...but they cost me a fortune. All the b-days and holidays, took the spoil thing right out of the picture. But I love them to death.

4. Yeah, that's why I adopted a little boy
I tell him stuff like "Adopting you was the biggest mistake I ever made", and whenever he asks what happened to his real parents I say "They died in the rebel camps, which is where I'm going to send you back to if you keep asking me stupid questions".

I think he'll grow up to be a fine, upstanding young man.

6. I have an ongoing pick on thing with my niece
I have a radar detector in my car that talks, it tells you what radar band that it is picking up. A common one is "K-band" and it sounds like caveman. So, one day my niece asked me what the little thing in my car window was and I told her it was a detector of "bad people." So she is scared shitless of "caveman" now.

10. I called my 3yr old grand nephew "Stink Bomb"
He said "I'm Steven!" quite emphatically every time I said it. But dang, that kid's farts stunk. And, since he's still getting the potty training thing, his pants also stunk on occasion. Stink Bomb was the perfect nickname for him. Drove him crazy.
