The Legends of Woo Woo and Haircut.

Aidan has two Uncle's on Anth's family side. The first of these is Anth's brother, Woo Woo. He is known throughout the family as Woo Woo. Why, you ask? Well, he's always been out there. I remember my first introduction to him when Anth and I first started dating. We had to go to Lake Eildon for Christmas, which is where their family went every year. Just after we arrived, out jumped Woo Woo from the bushes near the lake yelling "I am Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!" and scaring the shit out of me. He then nonchalantly walked up and said to both of us, "Hi Anth. You must be Anth's new boyfriend. G'day, I'm Brett."

This gives you some indication that he is a bit left of centre. The Woo Woo comes from his love of the Three Stooges. Curly makes the noise we've come to know and love. Brett makes this Woo Woo noise in front of all the kids, hence how has he has come to be known as Uncle Woo Woo. He is a lot of fun, and all the kids get a big kick out of him being around. They never know what he's going to get up to.

Aidan is really the only one who calls Uncle Phil "Haircut". With Aidan, we can't take him to a hairdresser. We used to when he was a small boy, until we hit the hairdresser from hell who cut large chunks out of his head then dramatically declared that she couldn't possibly cut "That Child's Hair". I had to leave before I decked her, I was so angry. From that point on we've had to do the home haircut, which usually means a number four with the clippers. So when Aidan first came in contact with a newly shaven Uncle Phil, he called him "Haircut". As you can see, Phil now takes the fully shaved route.

Phil is excellent with Aidan, incredibly patient, and loves it when his little mate sits down with him and pats him on the head. I think he likes the special attention he gets, and knowing that he's got a unique nickname.

Ciao for Now, Uncle Angry Dad.
