ugh i have a lot more sympathy for my older relatives who never knew what kinds of gifts to buy me because i am staring at amazon’s “toys for boys!” page and thinking of my 6-year-old nephew I haven’t seen in like a year, who apparently likes sports, and I am like an alien from another planet here, what on this page would even be remotely interesting to him, oh my god I am my uncle reincarnated. (his specialty was buying us gifts that needed batteries, but no batteries, and then breaking the gifts when he tried to put them together. he was a precious cinnamon roll and I don’t think he knew how well we understood him anyway and didn’t mind. At least I have that consolation, but I wish we’d told him.)
