I am the cool crazy aunt Heather too. I am trying to talk all my younger siblings into reproducing, so I can have more than one niece and one nephew. I’m the oldest…and I am Auntie Hedor (said with some crazy little kid lilt). My nephew calls me all the time to take him, because his mom is a complete nagging psycho.
The random “Squirrel” reference is from the movie “UP” and I say it all the time, good kid movie and it beats the hell out of any of those kiddie shows.

What an awesome compliment! I hope someone thinks of me like that, someday. My nephews are too young just yet, and my kids just think I'm an idiot who yells a lot. .-= Suzy Voices´s last blog ..Mr. Hollywood =-.

I’ve read your blog for a while & just wanted to tell you that I think you’re hillarious. It’s refreshing to read how you handle parenting and everything that comes with having a child that doesn’t fit society’s mold of “normal.” My son is three & his only real “obsession” is football, but we’re from Texas so I think this is considered normal.

Anyway, I’ve been called crazy for years and I think I’m finally learning to own it. And if you’re crazy too I guess I’m in good company.

Wow. It is hard when someone lets you know how they perceive you which is not even close to how you perceive yourself. Eewww.

Cool, Crazy Aunt is pretty much what I figured. I'm trying for the same role out here (watch out husband's sister's daughters!). Gotta keep them all on their toes, right? (Then they'll be less surprised when I bust out the pink dreadlocks on my 60th birthday.) .-= TexasRed´s last blog ..Texas Style Popcorn =-.

Can I tell you how heavensent this post was?

I had just been “talked to” about my boy’s seeming obsession with origami.

Since when is interest and dediction an obsession????? Sheesh.

Tell me they’d be complaiing if it was about math, or geography…whatever.

Anyway, you are so right on target, and those are words I need to tell myself. He is dedicated to something that holds his interest…why does the world see this and go, “bad…baaaaaaaaad.”

Beats the hell out of of me…they want us all to conform.
I’m with your niece on this one. How cool she recognizes what the world needs, at her young age. A lot of us are lucky to have you in the world, to be our “role model.”

Love you always…
