Anyone is welcome to submit a Guest Blog Entry to torontomike.com. I received the following submission earlier today.
I agree with you Mike. 'Uncle' and 'Auntie' are two titles that are passed around too much like candy. We need to stop calling every Tom, Dick & Harriette Uncle or Aunt (as the case may be). I for one am completely against calling the bum on the street "Uncle Hobo" or the grocery store clerk "Auntie Gunga".
Next thing you know, our kids grow up confused cuz they had like 300 Aunts & Uncles, except 3/4 of them weren't!!
Old acquaintances? Mr & Mrs, thank you very much. Uncles & Aunts are an important part of any family and not a role to be toyed with like so many playskool rubber duckies!
I urge everyone to preserve the sovereignty of the uncle, and the opulence of the aunt!!

I like it when people agree with me.
