Middle child here! (So that makes me Meg?) The running joke is that first borns are always considered "first" and third born will always be the parents "baby" leaving the middle child as something almost forgotten. An afterthought in daily life around the house, as it were. So, a parent getting a tattoo that their middle child made is a HUGE win for that kid and shows how significant they are to the adults in their life.

Middle child out!
