Uncles Monthly

January 29, 2019

I love my nephew, he is really smart and funny, and we battle back and forth a lot about many goofy topics. Mostly, it is me trying to convince him that I am “very cool” and his “favorite uncle.” Being 8, vehemently disagreeing with an adult when the opportunity arises is a totally welcomed, especially when amped up on Sprite (and a refill) during dinner.

I just dropped this completely real magazine cover in the mail. I am very excited for him to open it. I included this letter:

Hi Patrick,

Do you remember the other night when I mentioned I was voted “Uncle of The Year” by Uncles Monthly magazine and you agreed I was definitely the best/coolest uncle? (Thank you again for the vote of confidence.) Well, I got good news! The new issue is not out yet but I was able to get an advanced copy of the cover for you (suitable for framing).

I just wanted to thank you for saying those nice words and I really like the photo of us on the cover.

See you soon, buddy!

Your favorite uncle,
Uncle Jeff

Preparing for an onslaught of tiny karate chops the next time I see him.

Oh, also this…
