Nancy of course.
Yep, she was Mom's favorite subject and her favorite kid.
It didn't bother me. I think maybe by then I'd realized that I was the middle kid although by then there were two middle kids. Older sisters got special treatment. Younger sisters did too. Middle ones got mostly ignored. She just didn't have the time for all of us. Sometimes I think I was happier that way because once my chores were done I could escape to my books and papers.
