You had better not laugh young man

The Kremer nephews were over a few weekends ago. I remember visiting my cousins - lots of fun and lots of noise. I don't have much recollection of aunts and uncles during those visits. I'm sure I held them in much more awe and respect than my nephews seem to do with me.

The youngest in particular must think that I am the stupidest person around. I made the mistake of not being able to start the Nintendo Wii game on his last overnight visit. I guess that's why he invaded his eldest cousin's room early Saturday morning, demanding that she start the game for him. I poked my head into the room and told him that I would put it on as soon as I had a quick shower. "BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO WORK IT!" he cried in despair.

Ah yes, Aunt Valerie the doofus.

I must have convinced him that I was up to the task because as soon as I got out of the shower he barged into the bathroom asking me to go downstairs and start the game. "Brandon!" I exclaimed in surprise as I grabbed for a towel.

To my horror he gave me the once-over, looked me right in the eye and solemly declared, "Don't worry - I won't laugh."

I finally did.
