#granduncle

It’s something I came to think about today. Donald is Huey, Dewey and Louie’s uncle, but who would be considered HDL’s closest relative - and would take care of them - if Donald died?

Since we can’t assume their father and/or mother (Della) magically will show up to take care of them again if Donald died, I suppose Scrooge would be the first option. Scrooge has the resources to take care of HDL, and he cares about the boys (even though he sometimes has a hard time to show it). 

However Scrooge is also their grand-uncle ( gruncle xD ), and despite not looking like it he’s also very old. Could/would he really be up to raising three children? Seriously, he’s VERY old. 

If Huey, Dewey and Louie didn’t come to live with Scrooge though, then the closest relative would really only be Gladstone and/or Fethry, who are Donald (and Della’s) cousins. It’s also possible Grandma Duck could take HDL in and raise them, but just like Scrooge she is also very old by now - being Donald’s grandmother. 

Translation

"It's her"

"The mafia woman" (as a way of saying "the scheming woman" )

"The villain?"

And then my granduncle goes: "The mother who gave birth to you" which is sort of an equivalent to "your bitch of a mother"

It was only today that it started to sink in A loved one is gone Hard to believe because it happened so quickly For a while I couldn’t move

We’ll never forget what he shared with us All the words, knowledge, and books His mind full of wonder Eager to pass on to us what he knew

He believed in us, the young ones He knew the importance of education He wanted us to unlock our potential And to succeed
