I'm Number Five of Five, Three Girls in the Middle.

I've tested out higher than all the rest of them according to our Stanford Binet & ACT/SAT results.

They all have post-graduate degrees.

I'm the happiest of all of us too.

I'm the youngest of 5, my brother is the oldest. He's a pretty smart guy, but completely stupid when it comes to making personal wise choices...

That's the same as my family format... Crazy.. Daddy pops was really frustrated when my mom spit out the third girl. He was completely relieved when I came along..

I get along best with my middle sister..

Mine too.

You would have wanted him working on you if you were sick as a medical practitioner but he's been hard to live with for all of us.

The overall trend with time is good though.

My parents put parenting into the Auto-Pilot Mode with me.

Luckily, I was an OK kid.

I'm the middle child and I definitely reign supreme as far as intelligence and body build are concerned, just not in hair retention. My older brother has the best head of hair and beard, while I can't keep the hair on the top of my head and my beard looks like I've been gapped by a terrible barber.

Same here, when I was old enough to go out, all I had to do was check in with my parents, all of my siblings were pissed..

I can confidently say that while I am less accomplished and less educated than my sister(I didn’t graduate college) I have a higher IQ than my older sibling. I just lack ambition.

I WISH!

Naw, he had a BS in Chemistry but was in Management for a Fortune 500 Chemical Company.

He had the Southern half of the US from VA to Cali as his turf.

He was gone a night or two every week.

me and my brother both scored 30+ on the ACT in the late 90s. He was top 5 at a college prep school and I was top 10 in my class. He scored a 33 and I got a 30. I guess this is right.

Although I have been told I'm much more fun and have a better personality, so I'll take t I guess. He is more successful than me for sure though.

Youngest of 3 right here. Oldest didn't graduate college, middle child graduated college in accounting, and youngest (me) has a masters and bachelors degree in civil engineering. Guess I'm the exception.

Pops owned a distributing co, ask me how many vacations we went on...

One weekend a year at a state park in Mississippi. He could never leave.. Business first, I really can't complain, I came out of college debt free... I owe him for that.

I was pretty popular with my frat brothers, always came up to school with beer.

I’m the youngest and most accomplished of my siblings. Your study can suck a dick.

Are you loyal to the brand(s) he distributed as an adult?

Unfortunately, It's no longer around. He sold Falstaff, and a few other brands. I would've been the third generation.
