When I Was But A Whee Little Lad
Today one of my friends and I visited a friends house and he had a little brother of maybe, 6 years of age. Like any other younger brother he started pestering everyone around and the elder brother (who is my friend) sternly told him to stop annoying us.
This behavior tends to happen all the time and I think it's more to do with younger brothers than younger sisters.
Naturally this brought back memories for me, I am the youngest of the two children in our family. when I was younger my sister used to bring her friends over sometimes, either to study or just like a spend the day kind of thing. I remember that I used to always go and bug them, either by showing something or just acting stupid.
I'm not sure what I wanted to accomplish, whether it was to have the spot light on me or that I felt that it was my duty to keep our guest entertained, either way I could not help but always stay with them and doing something that was irritating.
My sister always went and told my mum that I was bothering them but that didn't stop me. So eventually my sister ended up scolding me in front of her friend and that was a bit embarrassing When my friend's brother was annoying us I always kept remembering this incident.
To the older siblings out there, just remember that this is a phase of a child specially who is the younger sibling. They do tend to get annoying, drive your guests insane, blab non sense to your friends when they are over but remember this is just a phase and just tell them nicely to leave you'll alone. Of course this doesn't ensure that they will leave you alone, in which case try to give them something that would keep them entertained. If that also doesn't work then you can take them to a corner and tell them a bit sternly to leave you and your friends alone. Also don't forget that this might be a way that they are trying to reach out to you, so don't forget to spend time with your younger siblings because sometimes, time past cannot be taken back.
For the younger siblings out there, try not to give such a hard time to your older siblings. What you think to be fun when you talking or doing something to your elder siblings friends might not be so for them in fact, they would find it very annoying. So try to stay out of their way when they come over and if you really want to spend time with your elder siblings well, you got the rest of the time that they are at home.
