Honorary Uncles

Honorary Uncles is a title very few men deserve or get. You have to be very close friends and give us lots of gifts. (I'm kidding about the last part.) I can count on one hand how many men have made it to this esteemed level. I won't name any names in case people get jealous. Honorary Uncles are (usually) men, who have become very close friends. Three so far have made it to this level.
You have to have a few important qualities, 
One: You have to be able to laugh and have a good time with us. No serious men allowed.
Two: You have to adore us at least a little bit, if you show no signs of even liking us, you get scratched off the list.
Three: You have to be capable of withstanding our overpowering charm and incessant chatter.
Four: You have to be capable of being a jungle jim and giving us piggy-back rides.
Five: You have to buy us ice-cream once a week.(I wish)
    All in all, its a very challenging job and not everybody is up to it. Don't sign up if your not ready.
Now, some of you may be thinking, where are the Honorary Aunts? So far, we have only one and she is AWESOME! When I have more honorary aunt examples, I'll write a blog about them.
So remember, if your ever in the need of a challenge, we'd be ready to give you one.
