OK, I didn’t know there was a national Aunt and Uncle Day until now, but in my defense, this is my first! My niece isn’t even a year old. Just look at that face. This calls for a tinker tape parade!
Why doesn’t Hallmark sell cards for this momentous occasion?
Bastards.
The correct name is ticker tape parade. It is from the ticker tape that came out of the stock market machines. When people marched down Broadway, the stock brokers would throw the stuff out the windows. However, you could have a tinker toy parade and throw the little sticks and wheels.
