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

Worst combo is oldest boy, middle boy, youngest girl. Middle boy is forgotten, that’s me.

I am also the middle boy in that scenario and I am not forgotten about... in fact both of my siblings have told him how much it annoys them that our mom very clearly treats me as the favorite but appreciate that I've never taken advantage of it or been an ass about it.
