So. In the world of Indian family parties, it's customary to call your parents' friends "auntie" and "uncle" based on gender. Don't ask me why. I have no idea. But essentially, everyone's just one big happy family.
I'm a big fan of little kids. They're cute and cuddly and adorable up until that point where they turn like, 9, and suddenly develop an attitude and think they're better then the other 6 billion of us trying to chillax here on Earth too. Anyways, I was at one of these random Indian family parties this evening, and this cute little 2 year old gets really hyper and starts running all over the place. Then he picks up a glass of water and starts running towards me. Of course, the water goes all over the place. His mom asked him what he was doing, to which he replied, "I was getting a glass of water for Uncle!!", pointing at me.
Want to boost my self-esteem the next few days? Kindly inform me that I dont' appear to be a hairy, middle-aged man. Thank you.

im afraid i cant do that, uncle sid (wants you for studco!)
I've only seen you twice. And while you may have some hairy-forty-year-old-man-like qualities(namely, you have hair, and you're a male), you also have some anti-hairy-forty-year-old-man-like qualities(you aren't forty, and you don't have a beer belly).
Also, it's not just Indian culture that calls people uncle and auntie, we (Chinese folk) do that too.

hehe
sid, you're not a 40-yr old hairy man
:D
you are quite the kid
Hahahaaa.
The first time I read this, I thought you meant that the mother called you the kid's uncle.
But now that I know the kid said it, it's 10x funnier.
You're not hairy though. No worries.
