This Thursday, 1 of my Uncles on my Mother's side will be coming out to stay for the weekend. This is where the term ''You won't understand until you have kids of your own'' comes into play. My mother says that he is still a big kid inside, but he's never had any of his own.
Naturally my sister and brother are easy going around him. Unlike me, I try my best, but it always seems that if you can't do it right, why persist? I made a promise to myself that I would lay off, be in the background. ( Like the youngest of all the nieces and nephews should. ) But then I made a promise to my mother that I'd try to develope a friendship with my Uncle, something not easily granted.
( Of course, that doesn't stop me from letting him know all my interests. )
