My mother turning in urn these days so probably cannot make friendship with you Mum. 
So, like play. Wow! Can figure 'roles' each sibling is in play. Crazy when you think about that way, really. Think oldest brother poor, forlorn (sp?), never have father figure, have excuse. Older sister always smart and obedient child so like chamelion (sp?). Me = 'why' 'what' child. Always thirst knowledge and always thirst knowledge for answer for everything. Mother do not like in child but only so inquisitive because *need* understand. Make *perfect* sense to me.
