some are, some aren't
my niece, charlie.
lovely girl when she wants to be, but horrendously spoiled. she has the biggest bedroom in the house, because her toys wouldn't fit in a smaller room. never goes shopping with her mum without coming home with toys and sweets. just got back from her second trip to disneyland(florida, not paris). firmly believes the world revolves around her and treats her cousin like dirt because his parents have very little money.

my cousin, jenny.*
a nasty piece of work from day one. everyone in the world is beneath her. she refuses to eat anything her mother brings home unless it's from sainsbury's or marks and spencer's. monumentally self-absorbed. thinks she's a fashion model. she is the posh spice of the family.

2 cousins, sarah and adam
despite having a mother that would literally go without food to give them everything they want, despite the fact that they were held up from birth as examples of perfection that we should worship, despite being thoroughly ruined, they have grown into 2 of the nicest, politest and most thoughtful people i have ever known. soft-spoken, considerate, well-mannered and generous, they're a credit to their(frankly insane) mother, who brought them up single-handedly.
just goes to show, not all children from broken/single parent homes grow up to be drug-addled, granny-stabbing asbo cases.

*jenny got punched in the face 4 times last week for badmouthing another cousin. thoroughly deserved it.

Is charlie
perhaps you niece? or is she just great, but in a slightly bland and overused way.

I thought it was a new septic-ism
like, "My bad" -

"My Nice" would have made a good title for one of last weeks entries.

you should try to make it a b3ta meme
Insist on using it at every opportunity - it will soon catch on.

something similar exists between me and my friends
after getting horrendously drunk on raki, my mate saw me sprawled in a chair and asked "are you okay?" to which i replied "i'm nice."
they've never let that drop.

yes
but in the nose. she'd completely spoiled my other cousin's 21st with her stupid sniping.
i know this involves a lot of cousins, but i've got about 60 of the buggers.

I imagine your family as a big gaggle of Italian cousins, arbitrarily taking sides and defending each other's honor.
