Uncle

I still have the habit to call other 'older' men uncle...when in truth, i am an uncle myself.
I smiled to myself when I tell my children - please check with the uncle at the counter.
I also feel guilty when I call the cleaner 'uncle, please help me to clear the table'.
I do feel offended when young(er) children call me uncle (faintz) when I wish I can be forever 'brother'.
