My Reign Begins
As of yesterday I found out my reign as "Weird Uncle Jordan" has begun.
My sister and her husband have been in the adoption loop for a while now and after a brief meeting with the birth mother on Saturday received "Insta-Baby" on Sunday afternoon.
is 6 months old and is apparently "cute as a button" and other such grandmotherly terms. I spoke to him...well, spoke at him... last night and he cooed back his greetings. I look forward to meeting my new nephew on my next visit back home and in the meantime I will take the Wacky Uncle Oath.
As I am now bestowing upon myself the title of "Weird Uncle Jordan", I do solemnly swear to uphold all duties and mischief contained therein. I do so promise:
TO feed young TJ sugary snacks and caffeine so as to activate his hyper-speed and giggle function.
TO educate TJ in the ways of Looney Toons, Muppet and Al that is Weird.
TO teach TJ how to dismantle the sofa and other furniture so as to build forts, star ships and transmogrification chambers.
TO instruct TJ in the arts of silly, loud, obnoxious and preferably endless songs that go on for days about holes in buckets, logs and other such things.
TO bequeath unto TJ toys that flash, beep, honk, and ideally catapult slime across great distances.
and then
TO send TJ back to his mother before packing myself quickly back to Burbank and out of said mother's punching range.
