Oh, how very interesting....

I'm the youngest of two, my big brother is 7 years older than I am
and as a child I worshipped him. I also competed with him, which
made me work very hard...usually failing. Roger was not a good
sport about losing (especially at ping pong, he was actually a little 
smug that I could beat him at chess). He was really quite wonderful 
with me, but as adults we don't do too well together.

I've noticed that people from large families want to have large 
families and talk about how siblings have each other. People from 
small families like mine would like to have more siblings, but see
large families as kind of chaotic...I'm reluctant to have more than 
two children...but we'll see...

These are generalizations, and I certainly could be wrong.

I like Ron, but I like all three of them.
