I did not ever ask, nor did I ever have to, either. I am the third of five children; my elder sister precedes me by 3 years, my elder brother precedes me by 13 months, my younger brother follows me by 13 months, and my younger sister follows me by 11 years. There was another brother, but he was either stillborn or died at childbirth. His birth order would have been the fifth of six children.~
