Lisa and I are both the eldest children in our respective families. Both of us can remember that there are special perks associated with being the eldest.
In my case, every Saturday night, my Dad would slip out of the house and bring back fish suppers for him and my Mother, then they'd call me down as well for my share. My two sisters would be innocently sleeping upstairs while I, the eldest, was able to munch away on junk food. And I don't think they ever found out!
