Today my oldest niece had a baby boy, which means I am a Great-Uncle again....

Sounds OK, but my image of a "great-uncle" is of a wrinkly, grey-haired, bespectacled old codger who spends his days in a huge leather armchair in his study, reading books about stamp collecting, eating Werther's Originals.

That is NOT me! The new arrival makes it a total of (we think, but are currently re-checking the numbers) SEVENTEEN great-nephews and great-nieces. It's so unfair, I'm not even 40 yet! My mum and dad have 6 children, between us we have produced 13 more, and those 13 have so far clocked up another 17 - we're taking over the world....

To add to the general confusion in my family, my own little boy is in the same age bracket as most of the great-nephews and nieces, which will be quite strange as they grow up and start having their own kids.

As an aside, what relation is my son to my great-nephews and great-nieces? Anyone got a definitive answer?

Better pop into Clinton cards to find something suitable to send!
