Being an aunt actually is amazing. My sister is two years younger than me. Of course once she had her first one everyone is looking at me like when am I going to do the same thing. Seven years later...she just had her second one. The cool thing about being the aunt is that you get to have all the fun, then you send them back to the parents for the boring and difficult stuff, i.e. potty training, discipline, helping with homework, etc. It really is a LOT of work, and expensive!
