It wasnt as if when I was growing up that no one payed attention to me. In fact it was the fact that everyone payed too much attention to me. It wasnt as if I couldnt find a place were I would stand out it was the fact that I couldnt find a place were I wouldnt. Really anywhere we went we stood out. We walked down the street and people would gawk at us from inside shop windows or from their cars. If we went into the store people would get us confused and think that they were going crazy. I mean really anywhere that I went I was one of 5...yup I was a quint.

You see I was smack dab in the middle. Allie was oldest and after her came Katherine, now after Katherine came me, Torri, and then Melissa and Abigail. We all looked the same and we all sounded almost exactly alike and,well, no one could tell us apart. 5 girls in one family. Anyway many days were very chaotic in my house...come on i'll show you.

"Katherine wake up!" I shook Katherine hard with both my hands on her shoulders but she wouldnt move. Katherine was in my bed becuase the room that she shared with Allie was being repainted and I was getting a little fustrated. I had to make my bed. I sighed and grabbed my outfit off of my dresser. Going into the bathroom I got dressed and ran downstairs. I thundered down the hard wood steps and as I passed I tryed to get my overall clip to go on Melissa put some toast into my mouth. I clipped my buckel on and I began to mumble Abigail took the toast out of my mouth and handed to me as I went to get orange juice. "Katherine isnt getting up" i said and I poured myself orange juice "Somebody go get her up" Abigail ran up the steps and in a minute Katherine's heave could be heard downstairs.........

More later....
