Maybe that is why I'm so self-centered. I read somewhere that, on average, eldests really do have higher I.Q.s than subsequent siblings.

Which is so aggravating, except when their brains come in really handy. I love all your posts, just wanted to remind you. Elise I’m the baby of the family. Maybe that is why I’m so self-centered.
