I find ways to push thoughts of how demanding life was/is as a middle child far away into the dark depths of my mind. But every now and then it is blatantly thrown in my face and I have to face facts. A few days before Halloween, I run into a person I knew years ago (whom I never saw without my siblings-one older, one younger) and I say hi... nothing..she has no idea who I am. So, I mention my last name and if that sounds familiar. She says "Oh yeah! I know (insert my sisters name) and (insert my brothers name). She had no idea that I even existed. Awesome. Fast forward to Halloween, as my husband and only child and I are leaving the house to get some awesome candy, my brother and sister pull up with all their multiple children and tell us of their plans to go trick or treating together. No, they didn't ask us if we wanted to go with. Reset the counter. 0 days since the last acknowledgement. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606702062142281828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072144300516618339.post-72660533593454086122013-11-15T12:29:23.890-05:002013-11-15T12:29:23.890-05:00I feel that I am the POSTER CHILD for middle child...I feel that I am the POSTER CHILD for middle children! I was BORN on August 12th, by the was............in (pretty much) the middle of the century too. I had a sister and a brother older, a sister and a brother younger, Two have passed away...........one older, one younger. One sister, one brother, so I am STILL in the middle. I agree with you, 100%..............I guess Veteran's Day could use a little more respect and notice, some of those people gave their lives, for the cause, and it's between Halloween and Thanksgiving, without a lot of fanfare. Amusing piece, I enjoyed it. Jackie M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04865692325918817828noreply@blogger.com
