-Calling Your Relatives by Relations or Uncle/ Aunty

[Ask99]

One of my khala’s 5 years older than me. So this one time when we went shopping in Pakistan, i guess i was like 10 yrs old… whenever i needed to ask her something i’d say ‘khala.. this n this n this.’

The moment we came home, my khala went: ‘Khabardaar agar tumne mujhe aayenda khala bola. Aaj se tum mujhe api bola karo, dekha tha kaisay log dekh rahay thay jab tum mujhe khala bula rahi thi? :(’

Eversince, i call her api and her husband bhai. But when it comes to other relations, I like to call them by relation. It makes ur bond more personal and I think it’s also a form of respect.

…she is only 5 years older then you…
oh then again …my khala is not that much older then me…but the sad thing is she wanted to be called Aunty…and now that I am barhee…she looks younger then me…and people think we are sisters…but I can;t change the habit of calling her Aunty:smack:
My brother is also abt 5-6years older then my daughter…she calls him by his name:smack:
