They had nothing to say to each other. A five-year age gap between siblings is like a garden that needs constant attention. Even three months apart allows the weeds to grow up between you.
I have two younger sisters who are 11 years younger than me. So I was an only child for a while.
I just have one brother, younger than me.
I actually have seven brothers in real life, and we're all very close in age. We basically go no more than two years between any of us.
My eldest brother is six years older than me.
My brother is 18 months older than me, and my sister is three years younger. I'm the middle one. I was born in Cheltenham, and that's where I grew up.
My siblings were pretty far apart in age, so I sort of grew up as an only child.
I was born late - what my mother calls the last kick of a dying horse. There's three of us children, but I'm 13 or 14 years younger than my brother and sister.
I come from a massive family, and the youngest is twentysomething years younger than I am, so I grew up with children.
Being a kid, by the time I was three years old, my mom was married, divorced and had three kids; she was 19 - so, my brother's just older than my mom.
My sister and my brother, of whom I have not spoken before, were considerably older than I; it seemed almost as if we belonged to different generations.
My brother and sister are both older than I am and were born before my father went off to World War I.
