Has anyone reading this ever been the oldest in a certain group, one that you are forced to see at least five times a month? Well, if you have, then you'll probably agree with me. If not, let me give you a little insight.
I have about six or seven little cousins, ranging in age from four to thirteen, plus a twelve-to-be-thirteen little brother. My cousins enjoy seeing me constantly, and stalk me wherever I go. I'm normally dragged somewhere to visit them for at LEAST three hours MINIMUM. If I'm lucky, I leave after three hours. If not, I have to deal with them for six hours or more. Yes, this includes weekdays.
Now, if you don't know what it's like, you're probably thinking it's not that bad. You are wrong if you're thinking this. They constantly demand piggy-back rides, dress up, manicures (though they just say 'Paint my nails!') and many other boring/physically exhausting activities. When I try to sleep off a headache (that THEY gave me), the little monsters decide to use me as a trampoline. The really bad part is that I can't do anything back, otherwise they go crying to my aunts and uncles saying 'She was being mean to me!'
Parties, however, are the worst, especially parties for the younger ones. There are more little demons running around, all stalking the oldest (me, in case you haven't figured that one out). There are more kids jumping on me when I try to sleep off the (now worse) headache that they gave to me. I can't even read! The only good part about visiting cousins (or going to one of their parties) is that I get to see other relatives that I don't normally see. ADULT relatives.
