My nephew and fading troubles
Permalink Closed

It is hard to believe, but my nephew will be 2 years old this November.  Watching him grow has been tremendously fun.  My favorite story, thus far, happened earlier in June.


I went to my sis/bro-in-law’s place to drop off something for my sister.  I parked out front in the street and came in the side door by the driveway.  As I opened the door, my nephew yelled, “Cort!”  [He hasn't quite mastered "Uncle", it comes out ... "Unc ... Unc ... Unclcor"!]

I heard my sister say, “How’d you know that was Uncle Cort coming in the house?”  A bit later, we found out.  As we were talking in the front room, my nephew walked to the front window, pointed, and said, “Cahr…Cort cahr.”  He was pointing at my Caprice Classic....

Later, right before I left, he started saying “Cap…Cap…Cap…Capri!”, trying to say Caprice for me.



Other "nephew corruption victories" I claim include getting him to say...

..."Dodge", which my sister drives (manual Dakota quad cab)

..."Arlo", which is what I called the Monte Carlo, soon after my parents bought their ("my") 1976 Monte Carlo when I was ~2 years old.


While he hasn't said "Monte", "Carlo" or "Monte Carlo" for me, Dad tells me that he has said "Monte" for him....  For now ... I'm settling for Caprice, since he hasn't seen my Monte Carlos yet...!


3 pics of my nephew....

Who...me?

Uncle Cort is so silly!




Sssooo...what melts everything away for you?  Whenever I see my nephew (or drive any of my Monte Carlos or my Caprice Classic), all the troubles of the world just seem to disappear.  Who or what does that for you?

He is the cutest Cort. One day you will be taking him to car shows, and I know exactly what you mean.....As you know Tommy & I do not have any children, by my Niece has made me smile, from the the second she was born till now, and she will be 20 this year. When I see her I still see a little 3 year old girl.

You will have an amazing bond with that child for the rest of your life!!! Enjoy and just remember, you get all the perks and don't have to put him through college... LOL

LOL!  So true, Angela.

I'm so looking forward to that amazing bond for life.  He was here tonight when I got home ... and, even though his Mom and Dad were already here, he literally RACED to the front door to greet me when I walked in.  My sis told me later that she was amazed at how quickly he rushed out of the living room when they told him I was home....lol.

My sis has already told me that she really wants to bring him to some car cruise nights in the area, if I go.  And, then, when he gets older, she said I can bring him myself, if I want.  Um, d'oh.  lol

My bro-in-law finally got a couple job offers and took the one that keeps them here in IL.  I'm thrilled at that, though that makes a few decisions I have to make a bit harder.

One more quick story....

In mid-June, events dictated that my 1979 Caprice Classic and 1987 Monte Carlo LS/CL were at the house at the same time.  The CC was parked along the street curb, and the MC was in the driveway.  As my sister and nephew left, my nephew pointed to my CC and said, "Cahr....Cort cahr".  My sister replied, "Yes."  Then, she turned and pointed at the MC, "...and that is Uncle Cort's car, too!"

My nephew looked at the MC, tilted his head, looked at his Mom, then looked back at the MC, pointed at it and said, somewhat hesitantly, "Cahr....Cort cahr."  Since then, he recognizes either the CC or the '87 MC as my car.  Course ... just wait until he sees the rest of my Monte Carlos.........LOL!
