unclehood
not too long ago.. when the sole purpose of one's life was to extract 'treats' from hapless groupies.. when the numbers on mobile phone keypads were long gone from non-stop messaging.. when one gave paid-for college bus transport a miss for the more 'colorful' local trains....
...anyone who had a wife was an uncle.
uncles were those boring humans; they never rode beyond 40KMPH, they talked all day about politics and budgets, they ate nothing other than 'meals' and coffee, and they tried hard (unsuccessfully) to act hip and funny around you when your gang would make it painfully evident that they were cramping your style. nobody wanted to be seen in public around uncles. nobody.
so why the sudden fascination for uncles?
poochi gets married tomorrow, marking his foray into unclehood, and becoming my first male pal to do so. 2 more make that list in the next one month, and before you know it, BANG! you're suddenly gonna be hanging out with uncles, when they aren't busy doing groceries that is. the thought is scary.
until you realize not long from now, you're gonna become one yourself.
