Having Five Brothers with No Sisters

February 24, 2022
By Anonymous

Living in a family

where girls are outnumbered.

Being the child

that everyone recognizes.

Adjusting to guy activities,

like hunting and fishing.

My friends giving me weird looks

when I tell them that I can put my own worm on for bait.

Driving to locations

that revolve around fishing.

Hearing others say,

“Your brothers must spoil you.”

Fully aware that they do not

and just nodding my head and smiling.

Dad’s favorite.

Mom’s best friend.

The only girl.

What more can one girl ask for?
