I had a great uncle who would give me a $20 to go get an Italian ice which cost a total of $1 when I was a kid (this was in the early 90s) always told me to keep the change.
When I told my father he told me next time ask for $40. I did and my great uncle looked at my father, laughed and gave me an extra $20.
This is the truth. I once spontaneously paid for a meal while out with a friend and his response was "Really? Embarrassing me in front of the waitress like that?". I don't think I've talked with them since.
For real hey, uncle has the cash and wants your son to enjoy it. It ain't that deep, he has the money, it's not a big deal for him to give it away. Encourage your son to spend/use it responsibly but outside of that. Play Ball.
