So, the youngest member of the Nunn family is gracing the capital with his presence this weekend. The capital is cowering.
Still, we have an action-packed weekend lined up. Well, I do anyway. The youngster Nunnster can tag along and do what he's told. That is the prerogative of a big sister.
Other things that should be automatic birthrights (but aren't nearly often enough):
- The oldest child should always, and by that I mean always get the front seat in the car. The oldest should not be forced to take turns. It is demeaning. This rule holds fast even when the younger child is in their twenties. Deal with it.
- The oldest child also gets first dibs on food when at the parents' house. This is a natural selection thing. Do not mess with nature's order. Strategic food buying is also imperative. A clever older sibling (like me) will intentionally purchase Hula Hoops, knowing that the younger sibling (like Jack) does not like Hula Hoops, thus meaning the eldest child gets to eat all the crisps.
- The youngest child gets automatically blamed for any broken electrical equipment.
- It is a truth universally acknowledged that the youngest child, in posession of a decent watch, will still always be late. For everything. No-one knows why.

Ok, I'm bias, I have a little bro too (who isn't so little any more!). But who cares, I'm the oldest, so there!!!
Have a fun weekend with your bro... they must be useful for something.. let me know if you think of anything :)
Your knowledge of sibling etiquette is quite amazing for a human. If it weren't for your picture I would have assumed you were a gorilla.
ha ha gorilla face, that's your new name laura
No, no, NO!
It is right you take it in turns to take the front seat, it keeps you supple in your old age by making sure you can bend over and get in the back seat :o)
Older siblings eat anything and everything - thereby making the younger one lok bad for saying sprouts are horrible!
Yes, we are allowed to be late :O)
