Today I went to my Taekwondo tournament, the USTU National Qualifiers for the Olympics to watch my friend, Chuck, compete. Well, he wasn't competing until 2:30 and we were then since like 10 am in Anahiem. So yeah, we were bored.
We went down stairs with our students and started drilling them for their sparring matches. Half way through us training, he went back upstairs into the stands, telling me he would be "right back". Fifteen minutes later, he came down with the most adorable little boy who happened to be his nephew. His name is Vincent and is 19 months. He has blond hair and brown eyes. He was just the epitome of cute.
Now, I have never seen Chuck as tender or gentle, but put this kid into his arms and he like makes a 180. Chuck is usually funny, sarcastic, and ready to beat you up (not me, mind you, I'm his high rank *wink*) but he became all sweet and Kawaii!
Anyways, we ended up back in the stands watching the bouts and he had to go stretch or something. Vincent started to cry, so I put him in my lap and started pointing out at the different matches. After this, I became second best next to Chuck. So when he decided to go get a drink later, I followed with the kid.
You see, Vincent started to cry again so I picked him up and caught up with Chuck at the concession stand and stood with him in line, balncing this little toddler on my hip. So, when he was paying for his stuff, the register lady started asking questions like how old he was and saying the normal "he's so cute" lines.
Chuck then said something along the lines of "Blah blah...and I'm just his uncle." The lady stopped for a full second, looked between me and Chuck and almost blushed. She said, "Oh, I thought he was yours..." Yeah, after that, we both kinda blushed and left.
We had a couple more runins like this since the kid demanded to be where Chuck was, or was always constantly looking for me when I would leave, but it was an awesome day at the Jr. Olympics.
