“‘King Tut’? Steve Martin? You don’t know what I’m taking about? Really?” Followed by muttering below her breath about: 1. Kids don’t know anything today, OR, 2. When the %*^# did I get so old?

Did anyone see how high I jumped a the fair?

I could so out-jump your uncle.

amirite?

Oh, and the young woman beside her is obviously brilliant, articulate, level headed, talented, and better looking than her uncle.

You didn’t say we had to be nice to you.

This isn’t a caption, but it’s nice to end the week on the heartwarming comments of a proud uncle. Reminds us of what is important. Congratulations to the Miller family.
