I'm the baby

I'm the youngest child.

We tend to be the spoiled ones who get away with a lot of stuff and because of that your older siblings hate you (well not hate but they have a strong dislike at times lol). I was talking to my sister on the phone and she was saying how she doesn't understand why my niece and nephew treat my youngest nephew so terribly. I had to remind her of some of the things they did to me...

*I was learning how to walk so I was in a walker. My grandma asked my sister and brother to watch me while she bathed. When grandma came out the shower I was at the bottom of the steps in my house in my walker crying and my sister and brother were no where to be found. They claim that I went down the stairs by myself. So at one, in a walker mind you, I opened up the screen blocking the stairs and then closed them. I fell down six stairs and stopped because there is like a platform there and then pushed myself down six more stairs all without getting a scrape or bruise and ended up turning around in the walker so I'd be looking up toward the top of the stairs. Come on now.

*Another time we went to Florida on vacation. My dad gave them $30 for dinner for the three of us while they went out on a "date." My sister and brother decided we'd go to pizza hut. So we went in there and ate and ate and ordered a lot of food. So my brother is like I'm going to the bathroom he gets up and leaves and is gone like 10 minutes. So mys sister is like let me go find him she gets up and leaves and is gone like 5 minutes. So I sit there and am just sitting by myself in another state in a pizza hut and 7 years old. So the waiter comes by and is like where are they and I'm looking like I dont know. So I decide I'm going to go outside and look for them I go look and the car isn''t where we parked it. I hear someone saying "Chris" from the bushes so I look don't see anyone I hear it again and I look and it's my sister calling me. So I go over there and she snatches me jumps in the car and my brother drives off. At 7 they turned me into a criminal skipping out on a meal at Pizza Hut just so they could keep the money. Then they threatened me if I told.

*On this same trip I went to the pool with them. My parents were in the room "sleep" (I now believe sleep was a code word lol) and they sent me to my brother and sisters room and they decided they woud be nice and take me to the pool. I should have known there was no such thing as nice. So things are going well and we are in the pool playing. They knew I couldnt swim but they wanted to go in the deep in so they put me on a floating raft. I was chilling floating in 10 feet and do you know these negros got out the pool and left me just floating. They didn't go sit on the edge. They left and went back to their room. I'm out there floating trying not to freak out and cry or fall in the water. After like 5 minutes the sky gets grey and it starts to drizzle. Next thing you know lightening and claps of thunder. I just knew I was going die. Finally I see my brother running towards the pool. I guess the thunder and lightening made them decide to come get me.

*Another occasion I guess it was my fault. I called my dad at work and asked him how were both of his cars gone and mommy's car. He asked what I meant and I said there are no cars outside. So he knew somebody took the car. He asked who was at home. I said me. He asked who else and I was like just me. I told him my sister was there but then some boy came and she disappeared and then my brother was there making "cigarettes" with some of his friends and then he said he'd be right back. My dad asked what did I mean making cigarettes so I told him my brother and this guy had a little bag full of stuff that looked like tea or dried leaves and then they rolled it up in some paper and went in the backyard and smoked it and how it stank haha. So that night when my dad came home he grounded them screamed on them took their keys and license and everything. But his mistake was him and my mom still left them to babysit me the next day. Do you know these idiots tied me up the next day and made me sit on the couch all day from 10 in the morning until 5 when my mom got home. They wouldn't let me eat and all I could have was cups of milk, which could serve as nourishment for some but not a lactose intolerant person. I learned that day never to tell again.



I swear things always come full circle lol. My sister is calling me trying to figure out why the big kids locked the baby in the basement and why they play hide and go seek with him and never seek him. I swear it's all coming back lol
