You’re not Uncle Lewie!
I arrived at home after work on Friday and my niece and nephew were already there with my mother in-law. She just stood there for a few moments looking at me and then asked who I was. “I’m your Uncle Lewie”, I said. “Your’re not Uncle Lewie!”, she exlaimed. I explained to her that this was my secret identity and that I would go and change into Uncle Lewie.
I went to my room and changed into my regular clothes. Sure enough, I come out of my bedroom to see a little girl running stait at me to give me a big hug. “Uncle Lewie!”, she yelled with delight as she crashed into my legs.
Today she was trying to ride on me like a tiger and I just wasn’t up for it. She would crawl all over me. “Get up!”. “No, I’m tired”, I said. “Tigers lay down all day, you can’t ride a tiger”. Still she continued to pounce on me and jump up and down. “Why won’t you get up?” My wife and mother in-law just giggled and watched as I continued to come up with funny excuses.
She then tried to give me juice. The other day I was playing airplane with her but my back got tired and I told her that I ran out of juice. So for now on, she offers me her juice any time that I say that I’m tired.
You gotta love the little ones.

Well, my name has nothing to do with my rump. It has to do with my ability to dictate good underwear.

I used to run out of batteries. But then he found the stash of spares. One time, he brought me an entire box of double A’s and asked me where to put them…..BE CAREFUL.
