Are you a Busted-Rubber Baby?
I have never been referred to as a accident. Children have always been considered a blessing in my family. My Nana (dad's mom) always called me her surprise package. Think about it, no one likes having an accident; but everyone loves to receive a surprise package. :smile:
Well, my parents certainly never referred to me that way, so I don't even know for sure. Maybe my older brother said that because I took away attention from him, and he used to say a lot of things that were meant to make me feel like shit (although that one didn't really, I kind of like being a buster-rubber baby, imagining my parents went out of control). When I took a girlfriend (I had several, but only one for a longer time, this was 5 years) to a family reunion, he said 'If you hadn't brought her, everybody would have thought you were a freak.' I'm over that sort of shit, since years ago, but it's true, now you bring it up, maybe I'm not really, but all of my four older siblings were definitely pissed off that my mother got pregnant so late, and that brother made sure I knew it. Big deal, though; I still get along pretty well with all of them, and they did pamper me a lot once I was born. Then they left and got married, and that pissed me off, since I was only 5 when the last one left home, and thought it was unfair since kids don't know what is happening.
