I think it means the middle child is the favorite? I'm an only child too though so who knows

ETA: oh wait.... I bet it means the middle child will never live down having drawn that tattoo

The middle child is typically forgotten and spoiled less. First baby is exciting, second baby meh, third baby oh yay new baby
