One of the good things about having older siblings is all the stuff you can learn. Not only is there all the stuff they teach you but there's also the stuff you just randomly pick up. Like you didn't sit down and try to learn it, but you just realize one day you know that, and where you must have gotten it from. Everything I know about first aid comes from Topher. In seventh grade science when we were going to start using bunson burners for experiments, I knew when my teacher left out something. While everyone else wanted lab partners who were good at science I wanted kids who wouldn't explore their pyro side and play with the fire.
A girl's bangs caught on fire in that class.
I don't know what my point is about all this. Sometimes I worry that I will become one of those crazy people who sets fires just so firemen will come because I like them.

There was a great firemen calendar out of Houston I think, and if I could guarantee that they'd be the one responding I might love to have a little fire too...that said being the youngest of 4 children, most of what I learned that has been worth remembering I leaned from my older siblings as well.
I never had an older sibling and have often felt at a disadvantage.
Hmmm... if you can recognize that act as "crazy" I think you're still safe! :)
