My teachers thought I was a budding pyromaniac and my poor mom and grandmother were at wit's end finding therapists who could figure out what was up with me. Turns out I was coming into my abilities so it was a lot like a teething infant only with heat. A niece though! Seriously, aunt and uncle duties are great. I love my honorary nieces and nephews, even when they're suddenly like a decade older.
I would do it but I don't think I know enough people here to really get into detail.
