Let me join Muslim Mommy with a 'funny' quote this week.
The advantage of growing up with siblings is that you become very good at fractions. ~Robert Brault
I laughed out reading this because this sketches my life.
Having brought up with 3 siblings, and my younger sis being just 2.5 years younger to me, I have always had ego clashes with her. In fact, my mom says I was badly expecting that she would be delivering a baby boy and I went to hospital expecting to see a boy, but hated the fact that it was a girl.
I had come across umpteen incidents in life, where fractions were counted a lot. As a wee girl, I always looked at the difference in 'fractions' when we were given anything- let it be food, chocolates, ice creams, dress of gifts- fractions did count...lol!
Looking back to those years make me nostalgic. Those silly fights on the 'fractions' in fact contributed a lot of precious moments which we cherish and were the best days of childhood.
