i still very clearly and vividly remember the times when i was a little kid and my smart big bro and big sis used to always be the "know-it-alls". poor me used to always lag behind, be it tasks that required cognitive work or motor skills. i remember the times we used to play catch-catch with my cousins, and when nobody used to bother even trying to catch me because they thought i was incompetent (i'd be trying hard to run fast when it is so obvious that with the speed i'm running with, only a few lazy steps towards me is enough to catch me). when at the end, the unfortunate catcher feels too tired to chase anyone else, he/she will jog towards the terrified me and..... "caught you, ha!". well, i can't really say that it sucks to be the youngest. when time goes by, you get the chance to watch your siblings grow, see the mistakes they make (although everthing will seem very confusing at that time), observe the way they accomplish wonders (my bro and sis were my biggest role models), and at the end, be one of their best friends. there are other small rewards ofcourse. i remember when i was tested for my speed in one of the lower classes, my PT teacher stared at me in wonder- i was easily one of the fastest in class without any "training". well, i knew my secret...i "trained" myself during those sweaty moments i played catch-catch with my older siblings....

oh! that was a surprising ending... i thought chechi and me would finally end up in one of those embarrassing scenarios but in which u shine like the sun basking in victory... wont say i'd blame u if it came to that ;)
kudos for getting over the learning curve so quickly, baby

HA HA HA....really well written!!!
PLUS, our elder siblings DO give us nice stuff sometimes if we whine a lot!!!
In, my case, I had a sis, who is 12 yrs older, and by the time, I understood world, she was 20000miles away. Eventhough, I was given the maximum love, when she wasnt around, I kinda missed her from being beside me! So, I have no idea what u r talking about!
Know wht..my sis is 11 yrs younger to me, aur wo itni aish karti hai ki poocho mat..being the younger sibling is surely a lot of fun :)
