There are a lot of you who are interested in Coco and me, so I thought this month I'd talk about brothers and sisters. There are lots of you that are only children, and there are lots of you who have brothers and sisters-which is better?
Well, I'm prejudiced. Now that I'm older I wouldn't have changed to being an only child for anything. There were times back then when I thought I'd like to be an only child, but that only lasted for a little while, because then something would happen and I'd realize just how lucky I was to have my sisters.
Of course, there are lots of advantages to being an oly child. You have all the attention and all the goodies, for one thing. You don't have to fight with brothers and sisters over the telephones or clothes or anything, because there's only you.
But with all the things that you do go wrong, I'd still vote for having brothers and sisters. They're fun to play with, and when you need them around, they're there. Even when you're fighting it's kind of fun. And there's so much to learn from them-a lot more than you ever realize when you're growing up.
