This guy just won the ‘Uncle of the Year’ award, and it’s not even close.

Best. Uncle. Ever.

Uncles.

(My uncle. Vinny.)


They’re great.

For giving you an extra $20 on your birthday. For arm wrestling you with perhaps a little too much zeal. For starting the kickball game at family barbecues.

(An uncle started this.)

But the thing uncles are best at?

Doing the silly stuff that your parents sometimes don’t want to do — but that really, really, really matters.

Like when this little girl wanted to wear her Cinderella costume to the movies but was too shy to be seen out in public dressed like a princess.

ENTER HER UNCLE, JESSE NAGY!

Who knew just the right move.

And showed his niece that it doesn’t matter if you’re a woman, a man, neither, or somewhere in between, there ain’t no shame in wearing a dress in public.

Boom. Uncle’d.
