I got to experience this with my brother, without the having a wife and child part.

Be careful. Life as an auntie/uncle can be a gateway to the kind of love and joy some folks around here consider... unnatural.

Pretty soon you're buying them presents, taking them to the zoo, and giving up on late night drinking and watching old movies from a tiny TV at a shady bar, because you're more invested in the kid's soccer practice the next day. I know, I know, it sounds horrifyingly bleak. But it could happen to you!!!
