He sang me Happy Birthday! And he did a very creditable job too.

This should finally put all those rumors about you being a nephew-hater to rest.

And considering the guy is in his 30’s, it’s really about fricking time.

I think you are well on the way to becoming the beloved **Uncle Quartz**.

I can’t tell you how incredibly cool it is (and how much it means to me) to watch my son develop relationships with my brothers and sisters.

I have so many memories of my own aunts and uncles. As a kid, I didn’t really get the fact that they were mom’s or dad’s siblings or in-laws. They were just aunts and uncles.

Embrace your unclehood! Indulge your nephew in ways that makes his parents cringe! That’s your role. Prove yourself worthy of it.
