Jason: See? This is why I hate being the youngest! Paige: Why's that? Jason: All I get in fifth grade are wimpy little easy textbooks, while you get to stay up late battling page after page of impossible problems in yours! It's not fair! I want a hard textbook! I deserve a hard textbook! This is another reason I hate being the youngest, by the way. Paige: Hard enough?

I’m the youngest of just a brother. But when our five stepsisters are included, I’m the third from the youngest.

I happen to be the eldest, including the steps and halves. Not that bad of a job.

I’m the youngest of my mother and father’s children but was raised by my aunt and uncle who had just 1 son when they took myself and my sister in, then had 3 more for a total of six.
I gave birth to 5 and helped raise their older brother from another mother.

Jason may be smart but he’s got zero common sense.

I’m the youngest of 6. When I was in 6th grade and the sister just before me was in 8th grade (same parochial school) I saw that we were both using the same textbook but I forget what class it was for. I laughed at her, saying I was only in 6th grade and was using the same book. She said, “I don’t care because I understand it and can do the work”. I felt like a complete jerk and still feel bad about it to this day.

If Jason was the first-born, he would be a s smart as Peter. ( The youngest has the advantage of learning from the mistakes of the elder ones.)

I’m an only child, but because my parents both had lots of siblings, I’m the oldest grandchild on one side, and the youngest on the other. Oldest is best for getting attention, youngest for getting away with stuff ;)
