My brother and his kids came to see us yesterday. They haven't seen my BF since Christmas 2011 aside from a few pics I've shown them and I mention his name. My 6 year old nephew strolls in and says "Hey D(BF)". Whaaa? Why do you even know who it is, and why aren't you saying hi to the rest of us. It was so casual like they had hung out last weekend.
Then when they were leaving the kids ignored us and were all "Byeeeeeee D". And then did the same once they were in the car.
I'm glad they like and seem to remember him, but what are we, chopped liver?

Ha ha - one of my nephews (sister's kid) does the same thing with my H. When I go to visit them by myself (because H is on the road), this nephew will come up like he is going to greet/hug me, then just stand there, looking behind me, asking "where is tio?" When I tell him he's working, he gets all dejected and usually walks away without even really saying hi to me. We just visited them last weekend, and this nephew came tearing out of the kitchen, and basically pushed me aside to hug H first.
It's okay though, because his brother and I are definitely buddies. So I get my fill of hugs either way
My nephew told me I was his favorite aunt. I said thanks. Then he asked "do you know WHY you are my favorite aunt?" "No, why?" "Because your husband is my favorite uncle"
