The Youngest Child's Lot in Life


When your older siblings get awesome early Halloween costumes from their grandparents, complete with whistles and hatchets and handcuffs and billy clubs . . .


They might let you borrow the pants. If you're lucky. And only for the photo op.

But then you'll get cuffed. Because someone has to wear the handcuffs, and you're the youngest.


Lucky for him, there isn't a jury in the world that could convict those blue eyes of anything other than criminal cuteness.

(Of course, when Jack does manage to steal the billy club or the hatchet, he uses it to whack one of his brothers over the head, so perhaps we shouldn't feel too sorry for him.)

Did Jack get a costume too?

Moi: No. Nana got them at Costco, and I don't think they had size 2T in those.

Jack will be happy with whatever you create! But I wonder how many houses are near enough to you for the big candy give-away! Mary in MN

Mary: In rural areas, parents just drive their kids to the nearest village for trick-or-treating. So if you live in a village, you'd better stock up for the hordes.

I am the youngest of two - I have an older brother - and it was annoying at times, for sure! I remember how I would often get a $5 bill in Christmas cards from relatives, but he would get $10 or $20 for being older.
