re: Did you have a favorite Aunt or Uncle growing up?

My favorite uncle was my mom’s baby brother. Taught me to play chess, about cars, took me fishing and even kept me a few times in his college dorm.

Then, when my grandmother died and his was the only other name on her account, instead of splitting it among his other siblings, he proceeded to spend my grandparents life savings of several hundred thousand to pay off his home, buy himself some land and cars for his kids and wife.

I wouldn’t have believed it before. Now I have zero respect for him and not really much to say at all.
