My kid brother Jonny’s son keeps telling me he wants to make the varsity team whenever we play catch, but it’s abundantly clear he doesn’t have the makings of a varsity athlete. There was a time where I thought he could make the pros (I mean, the kid has a swing like Joe D), but loses focus because he’s more concerned with chasing girls, causing him to be able to barely hit .250. In a game against Mountain Lakes, he lost focus and dropped an easy fly ball that cost his team the game. I was actually embarrassed to face my friends after that. How should I let him know that being varsity athlete is unattainable for him? I said something to some of my nieces earlier, but it’s not like there’s a performance review where I can PIP his as a nephew. Please advise. TC: 305 boxes of ziti
All this from a slice of gabagool?!
This is definitely your job. That kid isn't going to traumatize himself. It's up to you, Uncle Sack Tap.
Does he have small hands? Gotta tell him in front of all his female cousins
Yes. Small hands, that’s part of his problem
You don't need to tell him. If you're right, he'll find out himself when he doesn't become a varsity athlete.
This.
What do you hope to gain by PIPing your nephew, UncleJune?
I want him to leave me to run my affairs. All the hours I spent playing catch with this kid!
Oof madonne. Whateva happened here? Go eat some manicott and pruzoot.
Can’t tell if this is a shit post or a shit uncle
Shit uncle. The kid has the mind to play ball not the maturity yet. Kid and uncle should read Moneyball.
What in the hell is going on here
What you don’t know can fill a book
You should make sure to put it in writing and have other people there when you tell him. That way, if he later claims that you led him to believe he could be a varsity athlete, you'll have proof that he's lying. Maybe hire a notary just to be sure.
