Adrianna TanSome friends and I have a theory that if you come from a culture where it’s acceptable and even normal to call random strangers aunty and uncle, you’re much more likely to get fed by strangers all the time

@skinnylatte Even in Scotland this is true.
I had aunties and uncles who weren't related to me. I saw them more often than my own relatives, and I'd get food/small presents.
One Easter I got twelve huge Easter eggs mostly from my grannie's friends who were all my uncles and aunts.
Uncle Toughie (George) made awesome shortbread.
