Youngest siblings are definitely one of a kind. It has its perks and its drawbacks. If you are the youngest in your family, you will relate to some of these circumstances that come along with growing up the littlest.
1. You’ve been locked in a dark closet multiple times during your childhood.
This actually happened so many times. “Don’t turn off the light!"
2. You’ve learned how to take a joke. Especially because most of the jokes were about you.
They still are...
3. You never got the sex talk.
Fifth grade health class was a very confusing time in your life.
4. You can literally fall asleep anywhere. Car rides, bathroom floors, hospital rooms, you name it.
It's a gift and a curse.
5. You were able to see all the movies your older siblings couldn’t when they were your age.
Older siblings continuously complain about how mom or dad let you get away with so much more than they did growing up. They’re still salty to this day.
6. Despite the efforts of your parents, some things were ruined for you early on.
R.I.P. Santa Claus.
7. You were always known as “so-and-so’s” younger sibling in school and often times were referred to their name instead of yours.
“Oh, you're Jenn’s younger sister?” This was frustrating because you were obviously your own person. But, you gotta admit, being “so-and-so’s” younger sibling has worked out in your favor a time or two.
8. Relatives and family friends were constantly surprised by “how much you’ve grown.”
GAHHHHHHH.
9. You served as mom and dad’s detective to get the scoop on what your older siblings were doing.
“Go downstairs and see what they're doing.”
10. You secretly know you are the favorite child.
