I'm A Good Uncle
May 14, 2000

NOTE: This is a letter to my brother Allen. I'm the oldest of three boys.

Hi Al,

Good to read from you. Glad you like the journal entries. Remember I write for a living so I'm s'posed to be able ta rite gud.

Well, there's also being the first born and getting all of mom and dad's best genes.

KIDDING!

At least you're working closer to home. That's a good thing. That driving 50 miles each way or whatever it was to wherever you were going had to get old faster than a gallon of milk under a heat lamp.

I don't know much about kids (except that I don't want any) but someone was mega-impressed when I mentioned that your two year old could count to 20. Then I had to tell her that having that skill made him smarter than his dad an at least one of his uncles.

Ian wants to see you on the swing before he'll try it. Go ahead, dad, you try! And they wouldn't call it the "Terrible Twos" if kids were really agreeable at that age, would they?

But at least he might grow out of it. My cat's four now and she still won't listen to me.

It's late so I'm sorry if you didn't find any of the jokes here as funny as I did when I wrote them. Will I see you at the big wedding extravaganza in Charlotte in June?

John
