About My Nephews

Needless to say, my nephews crack me up. There are three of them, who shall remain nameless. Throughout the blog, I refer to them as “The Little One,” “The Middle One” and “The Big One.”

The Big One is 16 years old and he’s called the big one for more than one reason. He is the oldest of the three, is about eight feet tall, wears a size 13 shoe and is lovably chubby. Technically, he’s about 5’9″ or 5’10”, but give him some time and he’ll be about eight feet tall. He also carries the typical characteristics of being the oldest — he’s bossy and he shoves his younger two brothers around all the time.

The Middle One is 13 years old and everything you think of when you think of being the middle child. In addition, he is very limber, adventurous and fearless. He loves skateboarding and doing tricks on his bike. I call him my little extreme nephew. He’s the one who was caught climbing up to the roof of the house using one half of an old bi-fold door as a ladder. Yeah, that’s typical him. Act first, then think. Oh, and he talks, and talks, and talks, and . . .

The Little One is eight years old and is a hot mess. He’s the one I write most of the stories about because he’s still in his prime funny story stage. He actually thinks before he acts and is very logical in his thinking, which is funny in and of itself. If it doesn’t make sense to him, in his little mind, well it shouldn’t make sense to anyone else. He’s very funny and also very bossy. He’s also the runt of the boys, being the smallest not only at home, but also in school, however, he’s the biggest boss. Yes, he’s very Napoleonic 🙂

These boys are always getting into something or saying something that makes me laugh. I’ve always said how I need to write this kind of stuff down either so I won’t forget, or simply just to embarrass them when they get older, but then never do. I think we’ve all said that at some point, right? Well, I’ve started this blog as a way to preserve some of the funny and unbelievable things these guys  say and do. There’s a TON of hilarious things they’ve already said and done that I’ll never remember and unfortunately won’t make it to this blog, but hopefully I’ll be able to capture some of those moments moving forward.

So which one are you? The Big One, The Middle One, or The Little One?

If you have funny kid stories you want to share, please do. I’d love to read them!
