My cutie family Members' Stories: A Small-Built Tree --- My Third Uncle..........

My third uncle is a very interesting character if you get to know him....... and Why would I describe him to be a small built tree ???,  there is a story behind the theory.
My family is a very traditional household especially my dad, u can simply call him 老古董。My dad's mindset is even more conservative than my granny.  Being very traditional Teochew, we are brought up to greet our elders by their respective kinship terms......

My uncle was the youngest of three sons, thus we called him 小叔..... Quite a few years back, my cousin Kenn-Two started calling him 一棵小树!! From then on, the youngers ones started to call him in that manner...... We were quite naughty, tried to make fun of him.....

My third uncle was never angry despite us being the younger generation always attempted to make fun of him....  As usual, he will raised his voice, stared hard at us and shouted "@#$%$*&!...... Don't be rude ah.... I am your 小叔!!!!

Out of the three sons, he is of the smallest built as compared to my dad and second uncle!!!! He is cute at times but sometimes when you talk to him, you tends to 翻白眼. Coz he is considered to be one of the most talkative person in the family...... and that happened when everyone is eating at the dinning table...... He is always the first to eat and the last to finish........ At times, he is even slower than my granny....

He is also a very loud person, and every time he come to my house for dinner, my 小姑 has to keep reminding him to talk softy..... eat your food and so on and so forth.......
(To tell you a secret, In my family, both my 姑姑and 小姑 have "Individualized Reminders" for each and everyone in the family!!! I will tell mine next time)

Each time, he come into my room, he will remind me to do something to my room, either renovate my room, or clear my room...... he will repeat the same lines, I will also repeat mine....... and this goes on for years.... and neither of us can reach to a conclusion...... Hhahahah.......

He has a habit that I never can understand, He loves to buy "Cheap stuff...... and worse of all, the stuff will always ended up in my house, in my granny's "Collection".... I often asked him, why u buy it for ? and his answer will be " this's one very good, and cheap!!!!!"

But among the five siblings, he is the only one who is up-to-date with the IT world, he is very well-versed with the IT knowledge........  cannot compare him with my 姑姑and 小姑.

My these two aunts can already drive u up the wall with the use of a handphone......  which means (I will tell u the next time )

And one last thing , before I forget, My 小叔 is even more conservative than my dad!!!!! Oh Dear!!!! Now I have two 老古董 in the family.......
