I think it was supposed to be a joke about how there is only a middle child if there is an odd number of children.

- Fnoord 8y agoThat's a matter of perception. The way I see it, every child who is not either the youngest or the oldest is the/a middle child. With 3, that's #2. With 4, that's #2 and #3. With 5, that's #2 and #3 and #4. Though usually the context is that parents have 3 children because that's the most common version of having more than 2 children. When I look at people who I know and their families, I can report that the middle child always appear to be self-centered, egocentric. As if they lacked love in their youth they're continuously trying to make up for the rest of their life. Oh, and they have twisted ways of justifying that behaviour.
