As children, your mother:
Bought better clothes for your sister/brother
Loved you best
Treated you and your sister/brother equally
When you were very small, your dad left you at home and took your sister/brother to the zoo. You responded by:
Pulling the legs off your sister/brother's Sindy/Action Man
Playing happily with mummy
Transforming your sister/brother's bedroom into your secret den
Your sibling was regularly praised at school for their ability to do sums. In turn, you:
Planted an answer book in their bag and tipped off the maths teacher
Copied their maths homework
Responded by telling everyone how good they were at English, too
You meet a distant family friend after some years. "Ah, you're X's sister/brother, then," they say, before extolling the virtues of your sibling at some length. You:
Laugh and say: "Yes, although you wouldn't know it from my good looks would you?"
Smile, proud of your sister/brother's qualities
Deny you are related
You give your sister/brother a far more expensive present than they got you for Christmas. At the family dinner, do you:
Make pointed comments about how the spirit of Scrooge is alive and well
Quietly moan to your partner
Keep it to yourself - you hadn't even noticed
A distant aunt dies leaving you ?1,000 but your sister/brother nothing. Do you:
Phone them up, tell them the news and then say: "Unlucky bro/sis. See you after my two weeks in the Bahamas"
Keep quiet - you deserve the money as you always sent her a Christmas card
Give your sibling £500
You and your sister/brother take your parents out for a birthday lunch. You drive, but hit a kerb trying to park. Your sibling responds by:
Murmuring: "Oooh, nasty kerb that. Bad luck"
Sniggering and saying: "There there, little diddums could never ride their bike either"
Turning to your parents and wailing: "You should have let me drive"
Your sister/brother brings a new partner round. Your first thought when the new partner flashes you a smile is:
How did s/he pull him/her?
This new partner had better treat my sister/brother right
Phoorwarrrr, I am going to try to pull him/her
