My grandpa has a younger brother named George. Both my kids know that Uncle George is Poppie's younger brother, and that he is a wonderful man. That doesn't however stop the fear that seems to come over them whenever he is around. I can remember as a child being completely petrified of this man. He would want a hug or to tell me he loved me, and I would hide behind my Mom cowering, you can ask anyone in our family to verify this fact. This fear has been passed to both of my children, although I have been working with both of them to realize that he is truly great. Last weekend we spent the day with my Auntie Cis learning how to make green chile and later Uncle Goerge joined us. As you can see in the picture above John is not too sure about this man who is holding him and WOULD NOT smile for the camera while in his arms. Hopefully, they out grow this fear before too long, of course all Uncle George has to do is bring a truck around and he will be John's best friend.
