The incredible silliness of being an uncle

I just received a Yahoo greeting:

To: Uncle Paul
Have a wonderful Valentine!

Being an uncle is cool. You get to buy them toys and books, teach them words in strange languages, tell them stories about your shoes, make jokes about rutabagas, and when you arrive at their house for a weekend visit they gang-tackle you as you walk in the door.

And of course my nephew and nieces are the best of all!
