To keep the peace, everything in our home was divided into two equal shares. One for Austin, one for Audrey.

Once, when I was little, I asked Mom a simple question. "What about mine?"

Mom snapped at me. "Do you really think we don't have enough drama with your brother and sister? Why can't you just be quiet for once?"
