Youngest Daughter had an orthodontist appointment this morning. On the way back we heard from Beautiful Wife. BW wanted to let me know that she was going out to breakfast with Her Mother and Her Older Sister.
YD asked if they were going to a local shop where Son happens to work. I told her that he was in school and wouldn't be working. Then she said, "Well, they'll probably want to go in and see if they can find a hair from him since he's the favorite."
I called BW and we laughed about that and YD continued on to say, "The oldest is always perfect."
I got off the phone and explained that she must be talking about me being perfect since I'm the oldest. She was incredulous.
I asked her who she thought was the oldest and she started with my Oldest Younger Sister, then my Baby Sister, and then me. I called my OYS and she thought it was 'really funny!' I couldn't reach the other one but you better believe I can't wait until I do.
Of course, YD didn't see me get out of bed this morning after going back to karate class last night. We did a bunch of squats, pushups, crunches, and then went through all of our katas. My knees were feeling the strain from the 25 pounds, or more, that I'd like to lose.

Psychologists have theories about sibling order effects but spare me..and you too Bob. Maybe you were one of those did not play superior elder to your youngers. maybe that's why YD couldn't tell.
Posted by: grannyp on April 20, 2005 06:03 AMI'd like to suggest that when you told your Oldest Younger Sister that she looked older than you, and "she thought it was 'really funny!'", what she was ACTUALLY thinking was, "I'll get you, you bastard..."
:)
I'm just way cooler so that's why she thought that I must be younger, Grannyp! ;)
If that's what she thought you can be sure it would have come out of her mouth in a heartbeat. Not everyone in my family is as discrete and reserved as I.
Posted by: Bob on April 20, 2005 07:27 AMThat's what I've thought about you all along, Bob: discrete and reserved. Definitely. I'm glad the rest of your family isn't so... (searching for a word)... prim.

HA!!! I would have to agree!! Mr. You Who has "perfect son" status with our mom and he is the oldest!! Maybe it is a mother-son kinda thing.
