Who's your favorite Uncle?...

This question has been asked of the tribe quite a lot lately. You see my brother, their Uncle Bob, likes to ask them this question each time he sees them. Being that we stay at my mom's house when I'm working he sees them quite frequently. Well this question has turned into one BIG joke. You see we have a set of funny bones in the family, namely Avery, that likes to tease her Uncle Bob. She knows how important it is for him to have each of them say he is their favorite that she teases him ALL the time. I think in the beginning he just wanted them to be able to say his name but now I really think he wants to be their "favorite". On Thanksgiving Uncle Bucky, Daddy's brother, had his name thrown into the hat as well. SO now not only does Uncle Bob have to contend with Uncle Rick he now has Uncle Bucky to worry about. Just wait until Christmas when all the Uncle's are around. Uncle Bob is going to have some MAJOR competition! LOL! Little does Bucky know that after spending the afternoon with him when asked Brendan said he was his favorite! awhh... Whatever this is, joking, teasing, brainwashing, etc... these kiddos thoroughly enjoy the attention. They LOVE being asked this question & love yelling out a name, sometimes it's the name he wants to hear & some times it is not. When their is four kids the ratio shifts quite frequently. Three could swing either way but Avery is a lock, she almost always gives an automatic "Uncle Rick" response. Funny thing is that Rick does not have to do anything to get them to say his name. You think it could be due to the fact that he is her Godfather? It is strange that she is the one that usually always shouts out his name! hmm... It does not matter what Avery is doing, she will not even turn her head she just shifts her eyes, and says "Rick". TOO, TOO funny! Like I said it has become quite the joke! She really does see how important it is to him & she, as my mom would say, wants to get his goat. I have to share a funny story that happened recently. One morning I dressed both of the "twins" in the same exact dress. Being that they are identical it is VERY hard to tell them apart. I was trying to get an extra leaf put in to Grandma's table so Uncle Bob helped me. In fact the entire tribe tried to help! There sitting at at the table across from one another & next to Uncle Bob were the "twins". For the life of him he could not tell them apart. He later said that he decided he would ask the one next to him who their favorite Uncle was and if she answered him he would know it was Lindsey. Well he asked the question and the girl to his right said "Uncle Bob". He then said "Hi Lindsey!". She smiled & then giggled. Little did he know that the real Lindsey was seated across the table next to me! She had fooled him yet again! We all had a good laugh over that! See what happens when you keep asking...
