My nephew and fading troubles

[knightfan26917]

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...!

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?

To your closing question, I would have to answer 'my wife'. Reminds of a song Brian Wilson did back in the '80's. Called "Melt Away".

I wonder why nothin' ever seems to go my way
But every time I see you
I get that same old feelin'
And my blues just melt away, melt away

The world's not waiting just for me
The world don't care what I can be
I feel just like an island
Until I see you smilin'
And my blues just melt away, melt away

I won't let you see me suffer
Whoa not me
I won't let you hear me cryin'
Whoa not me
I won't let you see me sighin'
Whoa not me

Sometimes I close up to the world
You know I close up to you girl
But when I hear you talking
I feel my heart unlocking
And my blues just melt away, melt away

Bourbon, blues, and babes.  Not necessarily in that order.

I wonder if you had a Stanguellini.... ;D

And you must cry, cry, cry, whoa-who-oh, your blues away.

Heh ... I looked that one up on YouTube ... good song. :)


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!

No, no it doesn't, Bezor.  It is just simply ... amazing ... and, in some ways, hard to put into words.....
