A nephew can be either the light of your life or the bane of your existence, there’s no in between. 

And this is good, it keeps you on your toes. 

Especially when they’re lost in the freezer section of a supermarket and you’re faced with the choice of leaving them with the peas and broccoli forever or being a responsible adult and getting the helpdesk to make an announcement.

You’ve opted to not leave them with the frozen veg however and now their birthday has arrived. 

If you’re like me and your brain is devoid of any creative ideas, you may be searching frantically for a nephew's birthday quote. 

Follow this handy guide however and I may be able to help you out.

I love you nephew, just not enough to put money in this card.

because when we’ve had our fun I send you back at the end of the day.

Your Mom and Dad will try to make you as respectable as can be,

but at the end of the day, we all know you get your awesomeness from me.

I’m such a proud old Aunty and I’m glad I get to say. That you’re my favourite nephew, each and every day.

We all know I’m your favourite uncle, that’s just par for the course,

As long as you don’t tell anyone about all the trouble that we cause,

But as long as we’re together, I’ll do my best to make you smile,

Because you’re the best nephew on this planet, by a humongous country mile.
