The Bad Uncle

The Chairman's letterhead complete with his photo and pawprint.

Things are getting very interesting around here...

The Kreatrix flat out on her back surrounded by papers, a calculator, a bottle of Advil and the cat doll community.

Lots of little slips of paper with numbers. Lots of cursing.

I have learned the Kreatrix has a bad uncle.

His name is Sam. And every year he asks for some money.

I offered to have a word with him but I was told

“Naw. Everyone has the same Uncle Sam. He’s very large.”

Humans.

Just when I thought they all clock in somewhere around 6 feet (give or take a bit) I learn there’s one of you that’s even bigger.

So.

I googled Uncle Sam.

The I Want You portrait of Uncle Sam that has been used since World War 1.

I see no family resemblance to any human I know other than (possibly) a somewhat angry Santa Claus.

Is Santa a human?

    OMG! The timing of this is so perfect for me. I just spent yesterday getting things ready to take to our accountant. My husband burst out laughing over the "I see no family resemblance....". Thanks for the giggles!

    Love the title of this post-he's nobody's favorite uncle at this time of year.
    I think you'll be needing a MUCH larger curse jar in the coming days!

      Hello BJ. Chairman here. Does this Uncle live with you? Do you know him personally? I need to talk to him because he's causing all kinds of turmoil in our house.

    Chairman you think he looks stern in that picture. Just try working for the guy. Kreatrix, just shove it all in a shoe box and let the accountant figure it out. You've got more fun things to do.

      Chairman here. So the kinda Santa guy can look even worse???? You worked for him?????? Did he take a lunch break or a vacation? EVER? Maybe that would help. I'm so confused...

        Chairman, half hour for lunch, two ten minute breaks a day, and if you're lucky you can have a weeks vacation every year. Problem, he never seems to let you have time for those vacations. In person he has really big ears (all the better to hear you with), and eyes in the back of his head as well as the front. Scary dude.
