I am an only child, and I am definitely not weird.

Crazy perhaps ... but not weird.

Anne Stesney said...

All of the only children I've met think that they're not like other only children.

Sorry, Peter, but I'm gonna have to back Anne up on the second kid, as well as getting rid of the veg in her fridge before vacation. Coming back to that shit is nasty!

Peter Matthes said...

NO ... I'm right!

My mom told me I am always right.

Say I am right or I will scream!

Anne ... check your myspace account and throw out the veg.

anne altman said...

yeah, um, you've got a little O.C.S. in you peter, but it's not your fault, you can't help it. i've seen worse, much worse.

Them's fighting words.

So what happens when you had an older brother until you were 12 years old, then he died and you've since been the only child? huh? huh?? Where do I fit in???? I WANT MY MOMMY!!!

anne altman said...

well, i was an only child until i was 9, so i think we straddle the line, valerie...

Elizabeth said...

another only child chiming in: ilovepeppers: you are SO right on with your list. i love the fact that you made a list and that you love peppers.

i am not blogging hitting on you. just saying: you pinpointed the qualities of non-bratty only children as well as the most important downfall of not having sibblings. kudos.

anne, apparently we don't care about the rest of your list. see what happens when you offend people? tsk tsk tsk.

Number 8 is clearly a sore point for all of us, your faithful readers, Anne.

I have step-sibs so I only learned how to share the step-ladder.

And I figure Adriana is gonna be weird no matter what, so... what's the rush for another baby?

Are you suggesting the Federletus Part II is going to be normal?

Lauren K said...

Don't put tomatoes in the fridge.

newbluebaby said...

I'm the oldest and most well adjusted and normal person you'll ever meet outside your door late a night while fidgiting for your keys and scary music in the background with your bottom lip quivering just before it screams NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elizabeth said...

wow, i didn't know there were so many only children out there. apparently anne's blog draws them out of the woodwork.

anne altman said...

no, no spinach in fridge. tomatoes not.

i'm behind on both.

both will rot.

DO YOU LIKE THIS POEM, BITCHES?

CAUSE IT WAS AN ACCIDENT LIKE ALL GREAT POEMS!

anne altman said...

again, i was an only kid for 9 years, therefore, i am completely objective and may stereotype either only children or siblings because i know all. omniscient?

some of you have o.c.s., some of you do not. now, children with several siblings (s.c.s.)can be weird as well. they fight over food like junkyard dogs.
