So you’re an only child, huh?
Yup. That’s correct.
No brothers? No sisters?
Nope. Just me and my folks.
Is it true what they say? Are you only children a coddled, spoiled, lonely, egocentric bunch of oddballs? Or does the stereotype ring hollow? For what it’s worth, you seem like a decent enough guy to me.
Thanks. (smiles) I appreciate the vote of confidence. You know, it’s hard to say. I’m sure there’s an only child out there who fits the projection to a T - or at least appears to. As for myself...yeah, I suppose...shades of it anyway. But the traits you mentioned don’t strike me as especially unique to the only child character type, if there is such a thing. What were they, again? Coddled, lonely, spoiled...
Egocentric and weird.
Right. Now, by your estimation, do these traits at all describe you or one of your siblings?
Well, I guess it depends on who you ask. I’ve certainly got my moments.
Likewise. And that’s what I’m saying.
Point taken. So, is this site of yours a concerted effort to present perhaps a more even take on the only child?
No, not particularly. It’s simply an effort to present myself. That’s it, really.
Any overarching purpose or mission?
I might pick one up along the way. We’ll see.
Fair enough. I’ll keep an eye out.
You and me, both.
