Uncle!

I am going to be an Uncle!

I feel old now, well not in my soul. Turns out my brother and his wife are having a little kiddo. I think I'll be the type of Uncle that spoils it rotten.

Its so strange thinking about it, its made me realise that my brother and parents are now actually getting on a bit, its quite the perspective and it brought on waves of nostalgia and memories in the blink of an eye when Matthew announced it to us, I think I experienced the moment just before you die, well from what people that have come back from the brink have said.

Another good thing is the pressure is off for me to produce spawn, not that there was any but as a male in the family you feel that your parents look to you to continue the family name and line, so thanks matt, I'm not going to have kids, spend money on fast cars and never experience vomit on my shoulders except my own.

(secretly I want a kiddo one day but I refuse to brood like a lame female duck who has just watched a mothercare advert through a familes patio window)

(I'm talking to you brown feathered duck with your tear in your eye, I know what you do, don't pretend you don't read this. I'm not leaving you treats anymore unless you steel yourself against baby adverts you marketers dream you)

(I will leave you treats still)
