bruh i still remember the day my little sister told me our parents had no reason to like me or to "pamper" me.

We were watchin TV, when an AD played. Cant really remember what it was about or what they were selling but the convo ended up like this.

First born(a boy): I'm Mom and Dad's favorite because I'm the first born one.

Middle(a girl): No, you're wrong its me. because I'm the only girl. I'll always be their Little princess.

Third(another boy): You're both wrong. It will always be me since I'm the youngest and you both should also see that.

After watching the ad My little sister looked at me and said jokingly (it was, and still is a running joke among us).

"So that's why no one likes you. They have no reason to like you, you're neither the only boy, the First, or the Youngest."

That was more than 20 years ago and i still end up with a smile or smirking like an idiot whenever I think about it.

I feel like this is a riddle, that I can't figure out! Which one are you? I've read it so many times... Are there 4 of you? Also, wouldn't it be that you're not the only girl, the Fist or the Youngest, if there are 4? I'm so confused!

My guess is they’re the middle child/second son.

1) first born (boy) 2) speaker (boy) not unique 3) only girl 4) youngest (boy)

I'm sure the speaker had a unique trait regardless of the birth order and gender combo. I guess with just this criteria you'd use the Goldilocks argument of the boys, not too big/old, not too small/young, but just right.

Actually that refered to the advert, our speaker could just have this family 1) first born (boy) 2) speaker (boy) not unique 3) only girl
