My Nephews

This is me with two thirds of my nephews... My sister's boys.



Yes I know... I should never wear shorts.

The nephew on the left is now a lawyer... The younger one is a school teacher and has a talk-radio show.

My third nephew, my brother's boy, is an excellent golfer... Something I can respect.

Some day in the future I plan to be dead... And I hope my nephews remember me as the fun uncle... The attentive uncle... The good uncle...

Not the uncle in this picture... The one wishing their mother would come and get them... And for pity's sake take them away!

Oh Chris, I think you look, dare I say, hot in that picture.

Nice legs with an athletic "V" figure. Wide shoulders and small waist. Yes, very handsome man.

Malott said...

Thanks Janice!

But that picture is more than 20 years old... And I think my "V" has turned into a "U".

THIS is a great picture. Don't tell the other two that I laughed a little - I didn't even recognize them!!

I think you can win the good/fun/attentive uncle award - I'm trying for a similar thing in the aunt category.

As I tell one of my friends at church - the aunt/uncle gig is the best in the world. You can be the favorite and then SEND THEM HOME.

Oh - and the shorts are good but I want to know - how many years did it take for the sock tan line to go away? I still have mine from last year and I am NOT happy about it. I'm thinking of bringing back the knee sock with my shorts this year. Get multiple lines going.

Bekah,

There's knee socks, crew socks, over-the-ankle socks... And the little footie socks that you can barely see over your tennis shoes.

Four lines... A conversation starter? Oh yes.

Aw, that's cute. You know who you are? The sexually ambiguous fun uncle who has pretty hair and loves sport. That's a title I'd be happy to have.

Chris:

Ignore Jacob's remarks. You look like a great male role model for your nephews - the fact that you even allowed a photo to be taken speaks volumes. And, I am willing to bet the young adults who were once these youths think a great deal of their uncle!

Now....would you post an updated photo of you - legs included? Methinks you exaggerate on your lack of attractiveness.

;-)

Christina said...

Thank you for the laugh.

You were all so...well, darling at that age. And the clothes...all I can say is that the 80's were special. Especially the short shorts and tall tube socks.

Please, if you have more of these gems, do share them!

Jacob said...

Uh, it was a compliment, you horny old bint.

Tsofah said...

Jacob:

If that remark was toward me, I:

a) am not horny
b) am not old, and
c) am not a bint.

Thank you, thank you very much...
Elvis has now left the building. :-)

Tsofah,

Well said!
