Just from random searching of the people I’m following on Twitter, I suddenly came to a realization:
Unless I marry into it, I will never be an uncle, and I will never have nieces or nephews.
I’m sure it’s because of my family-oriented mind, but that fact kind of makes me sad.

I volunteer my brother and his wife (to whom he has been married for almost two years and I still call her “my brother’s wife.”) They’re talking babies in the next couple of years. I am WAY not ready for that. He lives in Boston so you’d barely have to see him, but you’d still get the title!

Thanks for the offer, but unless you’re related somehow it’s just not the same.
