Why Andrew and I Need Nieces and Nephews: A Case Study

This post is directly targeted towards Melanie and Wesley.

Andrew and I need nieces and nephews.

Reason The First:

We are so good to our guinea-pig nephew, Chuck (pictured below).

We save our lettuce scraps, carrot peelings, and so on for him! Cuz we are the best aunt and uncle a guinea-pig could ask for! We baby him, fill him up with stuff that will give him diarrhea, and leave Melanie and Ross to deal with it.

Reason Nummer Zwei:

Andrew is a fun-loving, crazy-party-animal. Here he is with his cousin's child, Molly.

See? Andrew would be a very fun uncle.

Reason Three:

I am good at holding babies and then passing them on when I get tired or they poop. Here I am in the Summer of Awesomeness with my cousin Greg and his niece Lucy.

Everyone else has nieces and nephews. :(

Yes I know we look like a happy family. But the point is that I would be a fantastic aunt.

Reason 4:

Being the fake aunt and uncle, although awesome, just doesn't cut it. Look at this cute little fella, named Little Andrew. He belongs to our friends Kaleb and Olya.

But we can't claim that his cuteness and studliness runs in our blood. But we still like him!

In summary:

Andrew and I NEED nieces and nephews. It is essential.

No, we cannot have our own baby. That would defeat the purpose of being an aunt or an uncle. No one seems to understand this. The funnest aunts and the coolest uncles are always the one that is single and childless. Now, since we are no longer single we can at least be wicked awesome at being childless.

Get on it!

It's true, you've baby sat Lucy many times and she always comes back safe and sound.
Though you guys seem to be a little worse for wear each time.
