Happy by Scott Cochrane

A few months ago me, my mum and dad, my two sisters and one of their boyfriends were at my house so we started talking about Christmas and then what we wanted for Christmas. Then my sister Carol said you won't need a Christmas present from us. I asked how and then she said how do you feel about being an uncle. It took me a while to catch on but when my mum, dad and sister started smiling I realised that she was having a baby. We are all really happy for them. My sister Amy is excited about it as well and my mum has started knitting things for him like hats, gloves and jumpers. Steven, my sister's boyfriend is looking forward to being a dad to. I am really happy I am going to be an uncle and I will try to be like my uncles who are really funny. I think it will be good to be an uncle but I draw the line at changing nappies.
