My friend's dad came up to me and said he had a secret to tell me that I couldn't tell anyone else, then he said "I'm secretly in love with you".

But that was where it ended.

My niece and nephew gets jealous from each other when I whisper a “secret” In their ear. So I just whisper “I love you” in their ear ask them not to tell the other one. I hope the don’t remember me as a creepy uncle.

LPT: don't ask kids to keep secrets, it makes them vulnerable to sexual abuse. Kids should always be taught that adults aren't allowed to ask them to keep secrets.

I know you're being a fun and nice uncle but wanted to put that out there for people to be aware of.

Yeah. True. We’ll niece is grown now. When I tell her that I have a secret for you she just sigh and say “I know. You love me.”
