You know, I've never really had a mother or a father. I mean surely I must have, at some point, but it's been so long now that I can't recall.

I don't know why I've been thinking about it so much lately. I've got sisters and brothers and mothers and fathers on the brain lately! It's very curious. Oh, but I've already got a little brother. Does this mean I'm going to have another?

It would be nice, I think. Delicious home-cooked meals and hugs and warm happy feelings all the time. ...Perhaps I'd get sick of it though. It might get a little boring.

Do all you have mothers and fathers? What's it like? I'd love to know.

What's wrong? You don't like your family? Is having parents a bad thing after all?

My parents are dead, and the man who adopted me treated me like an object. I'll have nothing to do with them.

I'm awfully sorry. You should really find some new parents! Third time's a charm, right? I think that's how that goes...

[seekthebird.livejournal.com]

You can't just find new parents. That's not how it works.

Why not? I found a brother!

How did you "find" a brother?

[curiousher.livejournal.com]

Well, he found me really. He's my little brother. I never had one before that.

To be a sibling, he must either be born into a family or adopted. If you don't even have parents yourself, I can't see how you could truly acquire a brother.

But I never knew my parents, so they could be anyone! If he says he's my brother, I don't really see any reason to doubt it. I certainly can't prove he's not my brother.
