Writing Territories - Kono

Falling (Heights)
Bossiness
Trained my dog to fetch the newspaper
Politics
Obesity
Do a handstand
Edible bugs
Being yourself in public
Fake lizards (then), my dog (now)
Competitiveness


As the fourth and last child of my family I get VERY annoyed with bossy people. People think that being the "baby" of the family is a privilege. But it's not. Because everybody is above you. In my case, my dad, my mom, my sister, and my twin brothers have the "privilege" of telling me what to do. The only things I have authority over are my pets (sometimes). Because I have to endure this at home, facing this at school, swim practice, or when I'm with my friends makes it unbearable. It's understandable when it's a teacher or a coach or when someone is asking politely for a favor, but when a peer or person who has no right to have authority over me bosses me around I become very annoyed. It's a personal thing. When I feel like I'm forced to do something that I don't agree with I retaliate (I'm such a rebel...). Sometimes I'm just stubborn and cranky (who could imagine?), but other times it's the fact that others are becoming extremely demanding and needy.
