We were helping Alex move into his new flat. It's actually hard sometimes not to call him uncle Alex, not because he's particularly avuncular, but as a way of emphasising that he's a close friend of ours and we'd love for you to have a relationship with him too.
Doesn't just apply to Alex, of course. The same temptation holds with all of our close friends. But you only have four uncles and two aunts. Plenty enough as it is.
Mind you, I'm sure your uncles on your Mum's side are working on finding you a couple more aunts.
