Situation 805: “Our daughter calls our friends aunt and uncle and I don’t know how to feel about it…”

Hey guys! needed a little parenting advice if you have a few minutes. So I have a 4-year-old daughter and she’s been spending a lot of time lately with a few couple friends that I’ve known since college because we recently moved closer to them and it’s been great. Over the last three months we’ve probably seen them 6 or 7 times for barbecues etc. and my daughter is now calling them all auntie and uncle, which I never told her to do. I think my husband started it and then they all encouraged it because none of them have kids. I’m not against this but I’m afraid it might confuse her about what and aunt and uncle is, especially since my husband and I both have siblings that live out of state and she hasn’t spent much time with them. I don’t want her to think every adult she spends time with is an aunt and uncle and I don’t think she’s old enough for me to explain the difference to her. Any suggestions on what I should do? Oh and I don’t like one of the woman she calls auntie and it really bugs me when she does it.
