Shock & Awe is seeing your younger brothers baby for the first time. Became a first time uncle at 12:50a.m. Tuesday morning and saw my niece that night at the hospital, truly amazing. We don't have kids yet but will be trying very soon so this was even more awesome. It is definetly a different kind of feeling when you see this little person that your brother and wife created. Being an uncle is a pretty cool thing!

    Sterling is actually my middle name and Ken is the first. Sterling Bug is the wife's nickname for me. I guess that means the secret is out. So I guess it would go something like Uncle Ken or Kenny. Not Uncle Kenneth, if I get called Kenneth than I'm in trouble for something.

    Big Pimp Daddy Ken has a nice ring to it Rus. Uncle Bug sounds good too. Hey Hbomb, I think I like your nickname Hangin Horse better than mine, assuming there is some truth to it. Already started spoilin the kid a little bit Frank, brought a few things over to the hospital. Not use to this buying stuff for baby girl bit but I think I will get the hang of it very quick.

    Congratulations on becoming an Uncle... best wishes to your brother and his wife.

    If you were an uncle to my kids, you'd go through a stage being called "Aunt Ken".... which encompasses you *and* your wife as a single entity. It *could be* Uncle Wife, too (sorry, don't know your wife's name), but since she is the inlaw, Aunt Ken seems more likely.

    My kids don't see their aunts and uncles that often.. mostly we talk about them. I guess in their young minds, without a lot of first-hand interaction, "Uncle Ken and Aunt Wife" gets shortened to Aunt Ken for both of you. My sister thinks it pretty funny that she and her husband were referred to as Uncle Becky.

    My five year old has passed that stage. Man, where does the time go? How the hell did I get a 5 (soon to be 6) year old child? Who the hell thought I was responsible enough for parenthood?

    Even with a family, mortgage, bills, etc etc etc, I still feel like I'm "playing" grownup most of the time. Funny.. as a child you look at your parents with awe, and wonder how they got so smart and how they know how to do all that stuff. As a parent, I wonder how long I can keep my kids thinking that I do indeed know everything.....
