He is a classically trained opera singer, a children’s book author, a former Elvis impersonator and male stripper in Japan and probably adult film star, and a treasure hunter but in that moment he needed TP for his bungholio
My Uncle Bob is my mom’s sisters husband of like 30 years but they’ve hardly ever lived in the same state. He has his own kids but he loved spending time around my cousins and I and gave everyone their own nickname based on their personalities (mine is Buddy). He’s always going on about Star stuff and Taoism and I’ve only ever seen him drink black coffee or Diet Pepsi. He used to own a hardware store with a record shop in the basement and he saw the Beatles live like four times. he always greets you with a smile and is a treat to talk to, albeit a little grumpy from time to time.
My family is ridiculously tiny - there are 5 of us with our last name. My stepdad’s nephew just emigrated from Ukraine and is living with my parents and I just got to meet him! I have a cousin now!! He seems cool!!
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
