congratulations cathleen. you have been diagnosed with the middle child syndrome and don’t you worry, it is not fatal, but it is an emotionally scarring condition. it might be a bit difficult to deal with forgotten dates, neglection, and your parents showing favoritism towards your older and younger sibling but you’ll be fine. look, there’s even famous middle children out there, such as madonna and david letterman! so don’t worry, you are completely fine. completely.
