25 Questions I Have For Only Children

    Having your own room? Can't relate.

    As someone who is the middle child by a literal minute, I have a lot of questions for people who don't have siblings.

    I have two sisters — an identical twin and a younger sister. We also count our family dog as our baby brother. We grew up with major Full House vibes.

    While I couldn't imagine my life without my sisters, I sometimes wonder what it would've been like to be an only child.

    I always had someone else to help me with the dishes, but I never did get my own room.

    Only children, please enlighten me.
