I'm the youngest of four.... by far!
My 3 olders siblings are my godparents. This effectively means I have 5 parents.

Sib 1)
brother, 16 years older.

I visited him at uni when I was 2. I was going through a stage of calling every male, Daddy.
For the next three years girls kept coming up to him and asking about his son.
He thanked me as he said he got more action by meeting girls this way than any other at uni.

Used to start 'playfights' with me all the time. Until a couple of years ago, I grew bigger than him. I pinned him against the wall and started playfully slapping him round the face.
Never having experience in this he panicked and full on punched me.
OW!

He visited me at uni recently. After he'd left one of the girls asked; "Was that really your brother?"
"Yes"
Huge look of confusion arrives on her face. "But he's not ginger?!" (lol!)


Sib 2)
brother, 14 years older.

Came up with the my nickname of the Ginger-Whinger because I wouldn't stop crying when I was little.

Used to regularly put me in headlocks and then put his 'belly button fluff' down the back of my neck.

One christmas he dragged me by my legs across the room. I got carpet burns all up my back.

Both of my brothers have been trying to ply me with alcohol since the age of 10. I ask for a coke, I can immediately tell it has vodka in it.


Sib 3)
sister, 12 years older.

I came along just when she was getting to old for dolls.
She walked me to school most days and one day the lollipop lady asked my dad where my mother was. She thought he was my grandad.
My mum's also overheard other mothers dicussing upon seeing my sister with me, how; "These mothers are getting younger and younger."

She also turned me one day and told me the story of her first bong.
Cue me sat there mouthing. WTF!? WTF!? WTF!? over and over and over.

despite these and many more... I LOVE MY SIBLINGS!!! :-D


length? Just say when.

On a side note:
Does anyone with older sibs find it weird when they begin to swear in front of you?

Absolutely
especially when you come from quite a religious family - the first time I heard my brother say "shit" I was shocked. Now I hear him say stuff like it all the time when we're playing over Xbox Live 'cos I think he forgets I can hear him.

I can't get used to it though.

I have nephews too!
I become an uncle at 11 aswell. All of my sibs are now married! I've got 3 nephews but no nieces. Give it a few weeks though and I might do! My sister is due at the end of January.

I think it's a girl! *fingers crossed!*

i've got 3 nephews
and 1 niece, though its slightly annoying that i decide to buy presents for each of them every year, it bankrupts me :D

Yes
The oldest of my brothers is a painter and decorator, so I suspect has always sworn in front of me, I think I just started noticing the fact that "fuckin'" was a common part of his grammar when I was about 13-14 and it became part of my own phrasebook. Wasn't so much weird as I put 2 and 2 together quickly, more of a revelation.

The woman spotting comments still makes me feel awkward as they didn't start dropping those like that till I was 16-17, went from bigger brother land to "trying to be mates" land, bit of an issue as the youngest of the 3 is 15 years older.

I got that too.
The worst thing was that my brothers kept telling me to go after all of these girls.

They told me to go after the waitress where I worked. She was 15.
The look on their face when I told them that she was too young for me was priceless. It made them feel old. lol!
