Writer's Block: Family matters

I don't really get this question, tbh. Why and how would you ever 'choose' the number of siblings like that? I have 3 younger siblings, and despite of all of the fighting and all the hurting at times, I would never choose to remove/change any of them; and I definitely wouln't just 'add' a new sibling for my own benefit. I love my siblings for who they are, because they are my siblings, not because of how many they are, or what gender they are. Idk, it just feels weird to me that anyone would think of their siblings in numbers/genders like that.  But that's probably because I have siblings, so the thought of being able to choose like that is way too foreign to me. I get wanting siblings, though, but to think about 'how many' just weirds me out. I'd always wanted an older sibling, but I would never actually choose to get one, or to change things, even if I could.

or maybe I'm just reading too much into this question, lol.

Oh, man, I just saw that question and thought I was missing something. Choose how? If I had my time over again? idgi.

I would ~choose my sister. Because she's my sister. Yes, we always joked about having another sibling, but that's not ~choosing. That was, "Wouldn't it be cool to have a baby brother/sister?" Odd question is odd.

Using the only siblings icon I think I have, haha.

I'd like to order one older brother (in white, to add a bit of variety to my family).

But srsly, WTF kind of question is that? I mean, as an only child, I often think about what it would be like to have siblings, but I wouldn't ... actually do that, if I had the chance, or whatever. Ha. Then again, maybe that's just me being selfish and hogging all the attention. :P

I think maybe it's for people who've never known the pain and joy of having siblings. :P

I had the same reaction you did though, and I thought, "But why would I want more? Suzie's all I need. She's my best buddy and if anything ever happened to her, I would feel like a piece of me was gone."
