I drive a stretch of city street on my way to work every morning. This street is at least 3 lanes wide and one could probably squeeze 4 out of it if needed. However, the powers that be, have not yet seen fit to put lines down the middle of the road – so it is basically just wide open spaces.
It amazes me how many people drive this vast area smack dab in the middle. Seriously people, do we really need those yellow dotted lines to show us where it is appropriate to drive?
I’ve come to realize that some people just freaking like the middle of everything. You can have a nice straight edge on your baked goods which leaves one edge to dry out and some schmuck will come along and notch out into the middle area. Now you have 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 edges to suffer from the ravages of air. Big time pet peeve of mine – I do not like people to ravage my cake or corn bread.
As weird, off the wall and non – conforming as I am I still like to follow the rules to a large degree. I drive on my side usually pretty close to the boundary on the passenger side. And those people driving in the middle scare the helicopter out of me. You cannot predict what they are going to do, or where they are going to go.
So…..while sleeping in the middle on a cold night can be cozy…the middle is not necessarily the best place to be or piece to have. Just ask any middle child and they will give you all the reasons why the middle sucks.

Well, I am a middle-girl, and it does suck! You aren't the first born, or the baby, or in my case, the only one of your gender. I am more aggressive than my sister or brother and nobody better cut my cake in the middle!
