You might remember that last Summer I had visitors from Australia come to see little old me. My Uncle and Aunty and I have to say, I did a dinkum job of training them up. Rather than ringing a bell like Pavlov did to his dog, I send cute videos of cute me doing cute things.

Like this:

That was me dancing to 'Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh' - On Australia Day!

So, back to training uncles...

Firstly, it helps to be really cute. Luckily all babies are cute so you should have that sorted because, we were all babies once which means that by default, we must all grow up to be cute adults. It is a science thing. Cuteness can't be created or destroyed, only transformed.

Note: I transform my cuteness into training uncles which provides a new value stream (I will get to that later)

Secondly, Uncle Training requires a strict regimen of push and pull. You have to offer cuteness and then just when they think they have had enough cute, you take it all away for long enough for them to have cuteness withdrawals. At this point, make them hang a little longer and then, flood them with cutieness. Give it all you have and then be all Kaizer Soze - and like that, the cute was gone.

Repeat this cycle until a strong dependency on your cuteness forms.

Thirdly (and perhaps the most important thing is), make sure that you stay in contact with them as much as you can and even when you are grumpy, hungry or have just woken up from a nap, always blow them the biggest kisses you possibly can over Whatsapp. The bigger the better and make some noise.

Personally, I finish all my calls with "Love you, love you heaps!" screamed at the top of my lungs. It is really sweet and tender.

If you have followed these small steps to the letter, you will have Uncles eating out of your hand in no time. Ad then, you will have access to the value streams I mentioned - Pure Gold
