The Aquatic Uncle

Right off the bat, it is unclear what the main character is.  There is a part that says that he has paws but it doesnt mean that he is a mammal.  In fact the uncle is a fish so they still must be an amphibian of some kind.  The fish reminds me more of a grandfather than an uncle, with his outrageous stories and constant phrases that dont apply to todays standards.  Despite being related, the main character is ashamed to introduce his fiance' to his uncle.  In today society, people dont want to claim where they come from or things and people they were associated with.  Contrary to what he thought, his fiance' actually liked the fish. In fact she liked the fish so much that she left him for his old uncle.
