The Superhero in the Family | Uncle Quotes
What is it about uncles that often makes them lovable to their nieces and nephews? Quite obviously, uncles are brothers of one of the parents, they often look like them in appearance or manners, and sometimes they can even be an alternative version of mom or dad. All this could mean they seem interesting, while at the same time having the permission not to impose rules on kids and to spoil them (what’s not to like about that, right?).
Analyses aside, celebrities and prominent figures of science, arts and humanities have spoken about this relationship and their quotes are always fun to read – and probably share. With uncles.
