I don’t have an actual memory of this event but I
remember being told about it hundreds of times. Apparently, up until I was two
or three years old I used to carry my milk bottle around in the pocket of my
overalls. This apparently incensed by older sister to no end and whenever she
was left babysitting me she’d take it away. Daddy would then get mad at her and
give it back to me when he came home.
I guess Dad figured I’d grow out of it on
my own, and I did. For example, I no longer carry a whiskey flask in my back
pocket everywhere I go. I stopped that about five years ago now.
Come to think of it, most all of my older siblings (3 brothers, 1 sister) tried to do some raising of me. Thank goodness I was able to avoid being unduly influenced.
If you were a younger child, did your siblings try raising you as well? How successful were they at it?
