Jessica has announced her pregnancy to the world so i guess i can discuss my future status as an uncle to the world. I have been contemplating what type of uncle i should be. As the uncle the possibilities endless because I don't have any disciplinary or monetary requirements so anything i do will just be sheer fun. I have been thinking and have come up with a few ideas.
Cool Uncle #1 - Now cool uncle number one takes his niece/nephew to enjoyable festivities around town such as movies and cool restaurants and what have you. I think this would be fun because he/she would always like me and enjoy hanging out with me.
Cool Uncle #2 - As cool uncle number 2, instead of taking him/ her places i would just be cool in their presence. Just be the hip in style listen to the cool music and just be a general pop culture specialist. On the other hand i have never been a fan of pop culture so i dont think i can pull that one off.
"gum" Uncle- now this one is in honor of grand-daddy. I could be the uncle who always has a piece or pack of gum for the child. I have been thinking about this because that is a lot of pressure. I mean can you imagine the devastation and confusion if i missed a day. I dont want the child to think i dont love them or forgot about them simply because they didnt get a piece of gum. I dont think i can handle that kind of pressure.
Uncle Bubba- Now this one makes me laugh because of the insane ability of son to inevitably become like his father. I have seen this happen in many of my friends and can see it starting to happen in me a little. Now i guess Uncle bubba just entails me being the same way to this child as i am with my sisters. This one is most likely the one i will go with because it requires little change in life style.
Now there are others that i have considered but these are the finals. Some of the early eliminations included European Uncle, Cowboy Uncle, Crazy Uncle, Cheese uncle (messy), and Last but not least Elvis Uncle. Anyway any recomendations in which uncle i should be will be welcomed.

How about Sneaky Uncle who hides his blog from everyone? Or...Uncle Turkey Leg.
I vote for uncle bubba or uncle t.l....and i'm still kinda hanging in there for european uncle.
In honor of my favorite speedo wearing nephew, I will go old school here and vote for Surfin' Stumpy Uncle.
Sincerely,
Least Favorite Uncle
I think Uncle Bubba sounds the best but I also like "gum" uncle so that you can keep the family stocked in it! Love you-MOM
European uncle. for sure.
Yep, a new generation is coming into the world and, guess what...YOU will be moved BACK into a generation that won't take long to be "one of those" that comes into your shop and wants to know, "Are you kidding?" when told the price!! HAHAHAHA...I have been there for a long, long time!!
