My Little Secret From My Siblings

I admit, I was really jealous of how well my younger siblings always got along and were so close-knit while I kind of struggled to keep up sometimes. Last year during the family holiday, when we all went to Grandma's farm for a week, there was an opportunity that arose. My parents had left me in charge for a couple of hours with everyone else around and I saw them discussing something important... but honestly, my eavesdropping felt like more about not wanting to be the outsider than anything malicious. Now, every time they joke about it, I can’t help but feel a bit sheepish.
