Things Children From Large Families Understand

Family, , ,

Kid (who has 2 siblings): “My mom always calls me the wrong name.”

Kid: “Yeah but it’s not just that she calls me by my siblings’ names.”

Me: “I know. Let me guess. She also calls you by your uncle’s name. Or her best friend’s name. Or your cousin’s name.”

Kid: “She calls me by the dog’s name.”

Oh. Yikes. That’s rough.
