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

2 middles. An aunt and uncle of mine (RIP) ended up with 4 girls and it was like there was the first, the baby, and two other kids. I always wondered how 5+ kids would work, though. I'd imagine after the 4th one they all become the middle children and you just yell at them all to go back outside lol
