I noticed you posted this question in the abuse section, therefore assuming you're speaking about a child experience.
Thanks for the answers- here is the info you all might need:

Uncle spooning niece
Not blood related, now estranged
Age of niece: approximately 5 (maybe 4, 5, or 6- when memory becomes less sensory and slightly abstract)
Age of uncle: perhaps 45-50?

What about touching or patting the butt? (Not blatantly sexual, but perhaps slightly paternal)
