" Thank you, Uncle Bob!" Elise said in a cheerful tone. Bob who was walking ahead almost tripped hearing her call him uncle again.
" Let's not get carried away. Why are you calling me uncle? I am not that old. Just call me big brother or Bob, alright?"
" Ah? But..." Elise shifted around trying to think if she made a mistake or something.
" What?"
" You are so tall and big. Grandma told me that people that look called should be called uncle or aunt. I know many such people in Sami's family." She explained in a childlike way which didn't make sense. It seemed like what happened with Samuel's aunt, Mary stuck with her. She never changed her stance and called her aunt until the day of her departure.
