I'm the oldest of six (count them, six, and we were all planned) children, and I'm the only girl. So I basically have to watch my brothers a good majority of the time. The two older boys, who are both 15, don't really listen to me much and constantly bother me about this and that even when I keep telling them no. The third youngest (middle boy) is always quiet and keeps to himself and is sometimes bullied by the older twin (jealousy, but he always denies it), with the two youngest, what with them being autistic, being very noisy and getting on my nerves. But that's always expected with younger siblings, eh?
There is a gap between the twins and the middle boy by five years, and so for the longest time, people thought us older children were triplets. Why? We were about the same height, give or take half an inch (for a LONG time until they hit puberty, then that was when they began calling me "Shorty"). The youngest twin was the tallest with me in the middle and the older twin the shortest. It was the weirdest, most funny thing in our family.
I've been told not too long ago that it wasn't an accident that I'm the oldest child in our family. And like all eldest siblings, I am to help guide my little siblings and help alongside my parents. I think I've agreed to something in heaven and that's why I don't have a sister, but that's unclear. I'm just going to blame the vitamins my mom has been taking for years, all that alkaline ruined my chance for a little sister >_< (she even agrees with me). And I gotta say, it's scary watching my brothers grow up 0_o. And other girls with younger brothers about a couple of years younger than them have agreed with me. I still love my brothers, however, and I would've had more siblings, but my mom almost had a stroke with the youngest and after getting a C-section, she had her tubes tied.
Well, I hope I get plenty of daughters to make up for the lack of sisters. I wonder if that's in the pact.
