Uncles, and honorary “uncles”, are allowed to have the treasured “joking relationship”. Many societies have the “crazy uncle” tradition. He’s allowed to make biting remarks and social observations, softened by a smile. You know you are only to take what he says half-seriously. However, he can start you thinking about the serious half, when you get older and the jokes make more sense, when life doesn’t.
