On Being The Youngest

When you are the youngest kid in the family, you probably grow up a little faster since you have to keep up with your big brothers. However, in your mom's eyes you still seem so young, you are after all, the youngest, and it's very hard to see you grow so fast. You also feel very slighted at times, when your brothers are doing all the fun things and you have to stay home. What you don't realize though, is that at the end, if you would add it all up, you will probably be ahead. You get to do many things as a "tag along" and will keep going after your brothers have left. But that's too much to grasp when you are 7 and one brother just came home from a fun scouting adventure, and the other is at his friend's house and will leave early tomorrow for the mountain. Tonight he feels like he is at a big disadvantage.
