I can only hope that this thread turns out to be half as much fun as I foresee it being. |

The Sansdisk jokes should easily keep him entertained for at least 12 hours. |

9 years old = any of the boy-leaning Pixar movies. Maybe some Disney or Avatar or stuff like that, as well. |

Chas, what would really keep him entertained is your reactions as you stop at every Mosque and Chick-fil-A along the route. |

Lots of advice from non parent guys here. What's that all about? You got a nephew for a couple weeks and you think you're dispensing advice to guys that have been parents for fucking 10 years? Ohhh-kaaay. |

Hit up Knoebel's amusement park on your way out or on your way back. It's about three hours north (20 minutes south of I80), no admission fee, you either pay by the ride or buy an all day ride pass. My family loves going. |

Most kids I have seen act much better around anyone else but the parents! This is not just from my nephew, but my friends kids, etc. They act like .....well....uhm...ASSHOLES...around their parents. Nothing is good, everything sucks, they always want something else, but when my nephew spends the day with me at a Cubs game, he is no problem at all..if my sister or Bro in Law goes with he is just a total asshole. Feel free to explain away. |
