[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It bugs me. It also bugs me to hear the word "little" in degrees of comparison. Like, "the littlest kids". Littler? TF. Like the word "youngest" doesn't do it anymore?[/quote] I grew up in a family with four kids and the older two were always called "the big kids" and the younger two "the little kids." Always. Even when we were in college. I was one of the "little" kids and my younger brother and I definitely got treated as sort of permanently young. I also think my older siblings felt like they had to be prematurely adult in a way that wasn't great for them. It was not a healthy way to think about different family members.[/quote]
