Poor Mishka !!!!! What do I say?

George the YCA was roughly 30 years old when he joined the family in 1969, and was with me for 40 years. And he would sometimes call me by name, in the same tone of voice my mom used when I was a teenager and was wanted on the telephone. Ralph just calls me Graaaccckk.

If I am to be Mishka's honorary uncle, I suppose that makes Ralph his cousin. I hope he likes Quaker parrots.

Mishka is please to have you as his distant uncle Gary
I have been mentioning your name to him... he replies grrrr LoL
I just need some time to correct him... will not be long now
Mishka loves his cousins and sends them birdie hugs

That's great! Mishka seems to be off to a good start at learning my name-- and "grrrr" is fairly close to the Graaaccckk that Ralph calls me.

I asked Ralph if he'd like to have a Grey cousin named Mishka and he nodded his head enthusiastically. So tell Mishka his cousin Ralph says hello.

Mishka would love to have a cousin "Hello Ralph"
I sat with Mishka the previous night repeating Gary over and over again, saying it in many different sentences.
I had to laugh last night, we were running late, got home over two hours late.

When coming in I said to Mishka "Hello baby, mommy missed you today"
Normally he says "I missed you today mommy of course I missed you"

Mishka then says to me "Mommy where is Gary?"
(Don't worry about mommy now, every second word is Gary Gary Gary)

I was flabbergasted he had learnt your name so quickly.
He says is so cutely...
At the moment he just loves repeating your name.
When he is saying more sentences with you name Gary I will record him.

Mishka is a fast learner! I'm very proud to have such a smart nephew. I guess you'll have to show him on the map where Syracuse, NY, USA is.
