Ah. Joys of Family.
I brought my Honorary Nephews to the farm again for an overnighter.
My dad asked Aidan what he wanted to be when he grew up. Aidan said, "A robot!" And he went into great detail. "Robot arms, and lasers and a jet pack... and i'd probably fight crime."
I always introduce the boys as my nephews, but that's a little more tricky in the town where I grew up... God knows we don't want anyone thinking they're Gretchen's kids... And people just assume that Captain Bernie (what the boys call my Father) is their granddad... I think he assumes that as well at this point. Father, the boys and I were at the auto mechanic when Father asked me, "So, have you thought about getting married?" Yeesh.
We passed my old high school... The boys asked me, "did you play football, Uncle Mike? Why not?" Yeesh.
It's also funny watching them play with my old Legos... I think there's a good chance that some of my Legos are older than their parents.
Oh god, I'm old. Oh, and according to the Rule of Three, I should probably say 'yeesh' again.
