I, Dale, have an older brother and a younger sister,and I love being the middlechild of three. First, there’salways someone around to dothings with, even if it’s justwatching TV. Second, in addi-tion to all the stuff I have, there’s my brother’sand sister’s stuff, too. Whatever I want or needis usually available to use or borrow. Third,having a brother and sister means there isalways someone to talk to who understandswhat it’s like to be a kid. We help each other with all kinds of things from homework to put-ting a united front on to the parents when wewant something. Finally, and best of all, thereare three of us to do the chores around thehouse, and we can even trade if we want to.
