re: #111 ggt

I always feel bad for that one child in a large family. I’ve learned to pick them out pretty quick. They are the ones that like me and want to move into my house. LOL

I really had a weird childhood. For my first three years I was an only child. For the next 5 years I had a growing number of siblings, which then stabilized at 4 until I was 11. At that time the number of siblings I lived with dropped to 3 and a year later dropped to 1. A year and a half after that I became an only child which lasted for 2 years until the number of siblings I lived with jumped to 3. Then when I was 17 I was living on my own, no parents and no siblings. I didn’t live with any siblings after that, except for about 6 months when I was 18.

Is it any wonder confusion is natural to me?

When I was 19 my total number of siblings went from 4 to 5 although I didn’t know about it until I was 50, and then when I was 22 the number of my siblings went to 6. It dropped back to 5 in 2001.
