'First born" Syndrome

"It’s fun if you are young. Strange if you are old."

I found my stash of old albums above my son's closet today. When I say my old albums, I am referring to those magnetic sheet albums of the 70s. With time, they are no longer "magnetic". My albums are filled with comics I clipped during college and early adult hood. They bring back memories like the songs of the 70s. So I spent the afternoon perusing them while listening to oldies on You Tube.

Out of about 10 albums, half of one, was photos. I found the picture that captured my heart many years ago. I also found the Peanuts cartoon that described our relationship that still rings true to this day. 'First born" syndrome.

I Know

Everyone believes they are the only person who puts new toilet paper on the roller.  Which is impossible since I am the one who always does it.

This line in a recent LA Times column hit me. I can validate the quote as I am sure I am the only one in the household that recognizes the difference between the different brands of toilet paper and it's cost per roll. There was one exception during the pandemic, I bought the industrial, individually wrapped single ply Scott toilet paper. Everyone noticed the difference. But all things considered, it lasted through most of the pandemic. We are now just using the good stuff.

By the way, I am the only person in the household that knows where the TP is stashed.
