Controlled Reactions

Little bit of all of them, but #2 ... hmm ... My friends started calling me "mom" all the time ... as a joke? I laughed, but was not really funny? I'm not sure sitting here right now. My siblings and I are roughly 1 year apart from each other in age. That led to all three in high school for two of those years. I'm the middle child (only matters in this story). My siblings are magnetic when they walk in a room - everyone turns when they walk in. I on the other hand was a shy person. No one noticed me at first. Got a lot of, "oh, didn't see you there." Due to this dynamic, I would get are you siblings #2 and sibling #1's sister. I was fine with sibling #1 she was ahead of me. Sibling #2 was a little different since he was the youngest. I finally started saying, "no, he's my brother." I thought I would have my moments during junior/senior year - nope, a lot of girls in my class had questions about my brother. He actually got a picture from my Junior prom in my Senior yearbook. So, even now, if we're walking down memory lane, I will get stories about sibling #2 always being with us. Didn't realize remembering this would cause upset. I graduated from high school in 1984. I shouldn't be carrying this sh** around. I thought, since our ages are 61,60, and 59, I wouldn't care ... well, I read that and felt a little like I did when it was happening.

I do all of these things but it was because my mom worked for the second one
