In his early 20s, he was called uncle and aunt for the first time

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-22

College students read at night.

Someone said: "The eyes of the masses are bright, and the eyes of children are pure." ”

Since the age of 20, when I have been called uncle and aunt by various children, I can't help but wonder if the child's eyes are really pure.

Why are we in our early 20s called "uncle" and "aunt"?

1] From the age of 20, life seems to be pressed the fast-forward button.

"Last night I walked around with my boyfriend and met a high school student who had just finished class, and overheard their chat, about exams, games, and girls in the next class," Arwen said. And my conversation topics have long been graduation, work, marriage, and all kinds of loans. ”

Thinking of this, Ah Wen couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart, so he stepped forward to talk to them. Regardless of the content of their reply, the first thing Arwen heard was the greeting "Hello Auntie".

They said it was their own 06 years, I was stunned, I remember that 06 years are still children. But in fact, they were fifteen or sixteen years old, and they were going through my fading youth. ”

Why was I, in my early 20s, called "Auntie"?

Putting aside the so-called title change, perhaps, we should really say goodbye to our youth and say to ourselves, "You are not too old".

This farewell is to tell ourselves that we are not as young and carefree as before.

It is no longer possible to justifiably say, "We have nothing because we are young, and we can have everything because we are young" and then continue to waste time.

Saying goodbye to youth is to tell ourselves that we have to fade away the unstability of last year and our impetuousness. Don't be obsessed with the so-called title, in the bustling world, use strength to hold up the sky of our generation.

Live with a youthful mentality and passion, and work with the maturity and steadiness of uncles and aunts.

2] Most of my older brothers and sisters who are a few years older than me already have children, and if I call them 'brother' or 'sister', then it is natural that their children should call me 'uncle'. ”

Generationally, this is true. However, I always feel weird and awkward to be called an uncle and aunt by strangers. ”

Ah Yun wistfully expressed the confusion in his heart.

I'm not married, I don't have children, I'm still a college student, and it's okay to be called 'uncle' by children, but it's okay to be called 'uncle' by middle school students who are not much different in age, or even peers of the same age, is that serious? ”

Why are we in our early 20s called "uncle" and "aunt"?

In fact, the focus of this question is not on age, but on the stage of life.

Stepping into the threshold of 20 years old, we have changed from "brother" and "sister" to "uncle" and "aunt" without any transition, and it is inevitable that there will be a slight gap in our hearts.

Many people say that they are first-time parents, and the occasional flustering is understandable.

In the same way, many people are called "uncle" and "aunt" for the first time, and if he is petrified in place, I hope everyone can be more tolerant.

On the road to becoming an aunt and uncle, we have walked much harder than we imagined.

At the age of 20, we feel that more than ten years are like a flash, and we are still facing complicated problems like children at the beginning, and in the blink of an eye, we will be 20 years old.

On this runway of life that is constantly chasing and moving forward, we only hope that we can catch up with the uncles and aunts in front of us faster, and we also hope that the children behind us can slow down.

We will not be able to accept the titles of "uncle" and "aunt" for a while, because at the age of 20, we are not worthy of being called "uncle" and "aunt".

So whenever the children call us "uncle" and "aunt", we are not only resistant, but also have inner uneasiness.

We become "uncles" and "aunts", which means that we have to lose the childishness of our children and take on more responsibilities. For those of us who are adults for the first time, it is like walking on thin ice.

Not so long ago, we were still children, and now we are about to have our own children. ”

We lament the passage of time, and more often than not, we lament that we regret too much regret and have no time to make up for it, make up for the complexity of growth, and make up for the calmness of coping with difficulties.

In the eyes of uncles and aunts, we are still young, naïve and energetic children at the age of 20; In the eyes of the children, we have become tall, strong, and intelligent uncles and aunts.

So, please give us a little more time, let us catch up with the tail of growth, and live the last journey of our children's lives, when we are the real "uncles" and "aunts".
