Fun Uncle Dave

The Fun Uncle

For those that know me, I like to be know as the fun uncle. Heck maybe its my many years working at the Happiest Place On Earth, but making people laugh and entertaining must be in my blood.

I love to make my nieces an nephews laugh and I think I got that from my own uncle who was one of the funniest people I know. I know for sure that that is where I get my sense of humor and timing. Whether it was pulling coins out of their ears when they were really young, to shooting silly videos like the one below, I enjoy making them laugh. And as our family is expanding on both sides, more opportunities to be the fun uncle. In fact, we added a new niece a couple weeks ago, and will be adding another in about a week or so.

As the kids get older, pulling coins out of their ears isn’t quite as fun. Now I have to pull out real money to get a laugh, and it gets expensive.

Keeping up with the kids

The key for me is to keep up on what the kids are doing or are in to. Luckily, they all seem to be into Lego’s right now, and my youngest is into Ninjago. Ninja/Lego characters. Just yesterday he was telling his Auntie Karie that he wanted to show Uncle Dave his ninja moves. So what do I do? I go out and make a ninja movie of my own.
