Thought of An Only Child
Well Buzzfeed did an article “ 28 truths All Only Children Know To Be True” and thus this post just a rebuttal such a list. From the Onliest only child TheeTangerine
1. Sharing might not be your strongest quality.
Tell that to my mother who sometimes eats my snacks, takes my lotions and sometimes drinks my Ensures, that she claims to has in too much sugar thus ultimately making unhealthy. So truly I have no room to be selfish.
2. People with siblings will never understand your struggles
Playing with plastics tea sets while pretending that my non-existent sibling that will never be born is playing with me.
They will never understand that real struggle.
3. And you'll never understand the complexities of sibling rivalries.
Sibling cat fights are truly entertaining to listen to.
4. Every dad joke is reserved for you.
I can't understand jokes most of the time.
5. Pets are the only siblings you'll ever know...
I wanted a dog, never got it, I wanted a bunny , never got it , I wanted a hamster, I have never gotten it but the fish I did get was truly interactive.
6. ...and you're happy to embrace it.
Yip, until my mother accidently killed it.
7. You've experienced this awkward feeling more than once.
I’m naturally awkward, sooo nothing new.
8. As a kid, you were always around adults.
Best part about this was adults forgot about your existence and then they say dirty things and then you giggle and you feel like a hero cause you heard something naughty.
9. Now, most of your friends are older than you.
Nope, that generational gap is truly deadly. The adults in my life do not have a comprehension of the world beyond Facebook, Intsagram nor Whatsapp.
10. You find friends wherever you can.
I am a shy, quiet tangerine that sweats rivers at the thought of talking to someone new.
11. Everyone assumes you're spoiled.
You can tell I am not wealthy so if you assumed that, you are on another level of idiocy.
12. But you actually have to do all the work.
My parents paid me in love. Love cannot buy a pack of Cheetos but you take what you can get. I guess.
13. Sure, you can be a little selfish at times.
Like every human on the planet, next..
14. And Christmas morning is all about you.
You are so right... it was, when I was 12, but now the house looking like Mrs. Claus and the elves vomit sparkles and candy canes everywhere is more important to my mother.
15. But it can get lonely.
As I’m here looking at my Wii with one controller with a Mario Party game.
16. You have an active imagination.
I was in the Last Airbender World for half of my life.
17. You learned early on not to ask for board games.
I wished I knew this, the amount of board games I had was ungodly.
18. You probably asked this question every summer. "Can I bring a friend on vacation?”
My first trip was at 16, alone, by myself, like the only child I was.
19. Your parents have two extreme sides.( They babied you or left you to fend for yourself)
OH no no no, Buzzfeed, that doesn’t even begin to cover it. Try my whole family, LIKE everyone. I am the baby and will forever be the baby and I’m over 20 years ripe, ok.
20. National Sibling Day can be tough.
I had three of the best siblings. Me, Myself and I.
21. ...but you make the best of it.
Three of us celebrate every year. Haven't missed a year yet.
22. All the pressure is on you.
I have to plan out my future to financially and emotionally support my mother, aunts and uncles. Whom fed, clothed and bought me essential items. And they decided to not have any kids. So guess who has to help them when they’re old and retired. The onlinest only tangerine you ever did see.
Absolutely... no pressure.
23. You like your alone time...
I appreciate it when I need it.
24. ...but you love making new friends.
I love my friends they are truly awesome.
25. You are constantly saddened by this fact that you will never be an aunt or uncle and your kid will never have an aunt or uncle.
If my bestfriend doesn't name me auntie/uncle .
I will choose violence.
26. Sometimes you wish you had a sibling...
The amount of times I broke something and wish there was someone the too take the blame. #ifMyherowasreal
27. ...but the perks are WORTH IT.
The perks of getting in trouble for it.
28. Ultimately, you're happy living the only child life.
I love being an only child.
This is just my two cents on being an only child
Until next time my fruits -TheeTangerine
