Okay, I grew up in Oklahoma, and I was the middle of three. My older sister, Chris, is 14 years older than me, and my baby brother, Robert, is two years younger than me. My favorite thing growing up was being so close in age to my brother, we were best friends, people actually asked us if we were twins. He and I are still close only I am still in Ok and he is in Georgia. The worst thing about growing up was not knowing my sister, we share our mom but we have different dads and she and my dad never got along well, she moved out when I was four and was more like a cousin until I was old enough to actually make my own contact and find out who my sister was.
The only thing I would change about my childhood is the distance my brother and I put between us in highschool, other than that I had a great life!!



Let's see if we can find out something we didn't know about someone. Have fun. blahblah.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: I had one brother who is (3) yrs my senior--- Sadly I do not even remember much about growing up. But I loved to sneak into his closet and wear his clothes (he still is much taller than I am- so they were very roomy clothes). I would not change much , since I do not remember much, I suppose. rolleyes.gif
