i learned from a pro, my uncle made a special loser call to me this weekend from the east coast. i worked construction for him fresh out of high school, he's been reminding me he's been calling me a loser since way back then. the only time i am not is when my cousin's soon to be husband is in the room, then we are buddies so as to exclude him.

I am working hard to be that sort of eccentric aunt to my nephews.
My dad's brother is my model. He would go out of his way to give me gifts or make suggestions around the Christmas table that he knew would drive my mom nuts.
For my 13th birthday he gave me a copy of Reefer Madness. Every single Christmas after that he asked loudly in front of my mother when I would be getting a motorcycle.
For Christmas my toddler nephews got Depeche Mode, Nirvana and Foo Fighter's lullaby albums. I am sure my sister has never played them but I made the effort.
