Expert Advice from Old-Tim

Step 8: Avoid Getting Swiped by Your Niece

You see, Old-Tim, it's not just about dodging the occasional flying tackle or dodgy hug from your little niece. No, no, no. It's about maintaining the integrity of your personal space. Think of it as a delicate dance, with you as the lead, and your niece as... well, the tiny, tantrum-throwing lead. So, here's the deal:

When she asks for a hug, you say 'not now, not now.'

When she demands to play a game, you say 'not now, not now.'

When she requests to watch Frozen for the 37th time, you say 'not now, not now.'

And for the love of all that is sane, never, ever, under any circumstances, say 'just one more time.'

Trust us, Old-Tim, your niece will thank you in about 5 years.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have better things to do. Like watch Netflix in peace.
