Middle Kid

I just returned from a trip to Spokane to visit my sister. It was great fun, laughter inducing, relaxing just being me, intoxicating taking another step. I am the middle kid - with an older sister and younger brother. Here's why that's GREAT:

• there's always someone else to blame
• most tasks are better done by someone older or younger
• one can hang out comfortably in the middle (in gatherings as well as on controversial topics)
• you probably won't die first- you probably won't die last
• comfort is given in knowing that you will always know more and know less
• when there was someone to pound on, availability was not a problem
• advice can be found from both directions
• warmth is found within in a sandwich
