Eldest Brother, Eldest Sister, Elder-Middle Sister, Elder-Middle Brother, Youngest Sister, And Youngest Brother
What a mouthful. But since there seems to be an interest in this particular sibling composition I shall iterate the fact that in this certain composition any and all things are possible. We begin with the Eldest brother. This role remains the same in most situations. Eldest being the most responsible and mature. However, with such a wide age range we find that the Eldest brother has even MORE responsibility in the fact that he now has to not only mature and grow, but help in the process of raising the younger siblings. This will create a sense of parenthood in the Eldest. As for the Eldest of the sisters she has the responsibility of being the role model for the other two younger sisters. By her they learn how (and how not to) act and work. Of course the Eldest brother has that same duty. The Elder-Middle sister will probably have the hardest time in this sibling composition. Since she is slightly younger then the Eldest sister she does not have as much responsibility in the sense of being the role model. She will not have much influence on any of the siblings in terms of raising them and/or teaching them. She is left with very little to do (chores are an exception) making it very discouraging. The Elder-Middle brother.....ah yea, he's there. Okay moving on.
The Youngest brother and sister has way too much to benefit from this sibling composition. Having two brothers and two sisters going through their "teenage to adult lives" gives them a huge head start to many things. Not only will they mature early on in life, but they will learn from their Elder Sage Siblings. My Dear Elder Readers, they will learn from your mistakes and grow off of you. They skip the pain and suffering of growing up and just reap the rewards. The Youngest sibling position is the most coveted position on the earth!
Eldest Brother, Middle Sister, and Youngest Brother
We have finally come to what I believe is.....the best sibling composition...ever. Most of my Dear Readers saw this one coming from a mile away. But let me defend myself before you decide to write me off. The Eldest brother's role remains the same! Responsible, mature, and smart. The Middle sister is the one and only daughter. Having the one daughter in the family as the Middle child is excellent. It cancels out the bad of being the only daughter and the Middle! Being the only daughter she gets terribly spoiled (trust me), but if she is the Middle child she has no responsibility! So by being smothered by the parents she will not be neglected like most Middle children. By being the only daughter and being the Middle she has ultimately cured the disease of being the Middle child. The Youngest brother in this situation doesn't remain supreme. He will look up to the Eldest and he will look to the Middle for guidance in the ways of women (trust me on this too, I need all the help I can get). Not only that, but the Youngest gets an older brother and sister which opens the door to both worlds. Pretty much a done deal. Everyone in this sibling composition is pretty well-rounded. The sister by herself will be fine, she will remain feminine. The two brothers will work and play with each other, alongside with being a few years apart they will also learn from each other; loving and cherishing their sister together, they will grow into men that respect women.
Well, that's it. *everyone stands up* *applause* I know, I know. *applause* My Dear Readers, thank you....thank you, yes....*applause* Please. Stop, just stop. *applause* *a loud whistle from the second row* Sit down, just sit down. Thank you.
It was fun. I must say I had a blast putting this together. Of course my research isn't flawless. It is almost impossible to predict the human mind, but I have tried my best to make this compilation of sibling compositions. I hope you had a couple of good laughs. This is all in good reading, so don't take me too seriously. This still remains a theory to this day. Just give it about 20 or so years and it will be in the science text books as a "Sound Scientific Law."
DISCLAIMER: If you believe any of this, then I am not sorry....because it is just too obvious that this is just plain, ignorant, and foolish rambling. Thanks for putting up with me Dear Readers. On to the next topic!
This was rather upsetting for my composure - laughter is dreadfully indecent in certain environs, I'm afraid.
ReplyDeleteMuch thanks for an extremely amusing and illuminating topic. I quite like your analyses - they are spot on. You are blessed to have such a felicitous arrangement in your own family. However, I'm rather fond of the first combination you mentioned and delighted to read about it. Thank you again, good sir.
Dude, you're cray cray.
ReplyDeleteI laughed SO hard for both of the posts in the series. You're ridiculous. And quite ingenious.
But shush about the "being spoiled" part. You know I work hard for my money! Hard for it, honey.
Nevermind, I'm spoiled. However, if I must agree to such a shameful charge, do at least grant me the liberty of a:
MUAHAHAHAHA!
There.
What a great encore ending. Very amsuing! <3'ed it!
ReplyDeleteFinish the last of the chores...finally get off my feet...and turn on Dr. Missingnomer...laugh hysterically....weep for the eldest who will never taste the freedom of being a kid....nod my agreement with the last combination....enrich my mind about others....turn out the lights...go to bed.....
ReplyDeleteThe perfect ending to a day
I enjoyed every word. Had to read it couple times before I fully comprehended everything. Had a very very much-needed laugh!
