Five ways to get noticed as the middle child

Here are a few fun ways to ensure that you, as the middle child, stand out to your parents.

1. Start a mud fight with your siblings. Just as the fight is about to begin, disappear. This way, you’ll be the only squeaky clean one and your siblings will get all the blame.
2. Make yourself a sign that says ‘I’m the middle child. I’m the only one my parents planned’, and wear it all day. Better yet, get a T-shirt printed and wear it every year!
3. Get the family car repainted with an image of your beautiful face.
4. Paint your room a rebellious colour and play heavy metal music – all day, every day.
5. Get your hair cut into a mullet. You could totally pull it off and, who knows, you may bring the trend back – then everyone will notice you!
