Smell these roses!!

This is my nephew Joshua. He is very very cute. Joshua is taking advantage of the day. Oh to be a child. Shortly after this photo we began playing his favorite video game, Chicken Little. This was a big mistake. After ten minutes I could not watch him run around in circles anymore. I began to help him every now and then.

I left the room to clean up the kitchen and search for jobs online. Each time little Joshy would get stuck on Chicken Little, I would hear: “uncle…..Uncle UNCle…UNCLE….”
“Yes, Josh”
“I need help”
“Alright…”
I could not resist the ever increase calls from a desperate 3yr old who’s sole existence rested on his completion of the next level.


Joshua now knew that a constant call would render him my services. I was fine with this as an old video game junkie, I knew how frustrating it could be not to beat a level.. Unfortunately a case of very very bad timing was on the horizon. As I was calling back a company that had contacted me the day prior, Joshua began the chant. At first I did not want to hear it. I had just started leaving a message on the VP of the company’s voicemail when I heard “uncle uncle…if you just ignore him, it will all go away. (Yeah Right) Just as I beginning to close message, my very very cute nephew was screaming….UNCLE…UNCLE…UNCLE….I NEED HELP!!!

I don’t think I am getting a call back tomorrow!!
