  We got a question for American mama's. Dear mamma, do you think birth
• 0:03
  order determines your personality? Well, let's ask our American mama's Alma Mama.
• 0:20
  And joining us now are American Mama's Tournetoville and Kimberly bur Listen and we get
• 0:25
  the third Spinks sisters today here Lindsay Shepherd. Welcome to American ground reading with
• 0:32
  the American Mama Lidy. We forced we forced her to come into the studio
• 0:41
  today because we want to talk about birth birth orders. Okay, Now,
• 0:46
  first of all, Kimberly, I'm the oldest, you're the oldest, wisest,
• 0:52
  I'm the next, I'm the peacemaker, middle child. Then Jason,
• 0:55
  and then Lindsay the baby who got absolutely everything. Is that a fair?
• 1:00
  Is that a fair? Linda? No? Yeah, so I am the
• 1:06
  youngest of two. We don't have as many kids in our family. But
• 1:10
  yes, they called me the baby all the way through as well. Okay,
• 1:15
  so I mean there is this thing you know that the eldest is supposed
• 1:19
  to be the one that's that's got everything in order, the old that the
• 1:22
  oldest is the responsible one actually helped raise the other ones. The middle child's
• 1:26
  always getting squeezed out because you're no longer you were. You were only the
• 1:30
  baby for a little bit till somebody else came in then when they were the
• 1:33
  baby, and so the middle child's always seeking attention and trying to you know,
• 1:37
  go out into very true and then the baby just kind of gets away
• 1:42
  with everything, everything, absolutely everything. Our childhood was completely different from Lindsay's.
• 1:49
  It's like mom and dad did all the hard stuff with Terry and I.
• 1:52
  Hard stuff, you know, major rules, Lindsay, zero rules.
• 1:59
  Nice car are okay. She got to choose two wedding dresses because she didn't
• 2:02
  like the first wedding dress after all, so let's go get another one.
• 2:07
  She looked like she had. But I'll tell you this. I'll tell you
• 2:08
  this. Mom and dad did this right. They made sure because Lindsay is
• 2:13
  seven years younger than me, so eight year younger than Kimberly, and they
• 2:19
  did such a beautiful job of making sure that we were so tight. Like
• 2:22
  she was, she's always been this way. She's she's kind of like the
• 2:24
  ball, even though she's the baby. She's kind of like the boss,
• 2:27
  you know, she's she's kind of very much the boss. And she even
• 2:30
  as a little girl, she had her little uh folder with you know,
• 2:34
  everything was itemized, she had everything planned out. She was she would have
• 2:38
  iterary. Yeah, so she was you know, she wore her Dolly parton
• 2:42
  wig and her heels. She was a teacher, and so we had to
• 2:45
  be the students and we'd be like, y'all, seriously, we're you know,
• 2:47
  we want to go out their friends, and mom and dad, you're
• 2:50
  not going out with your friends until you play school with your little sister.
• 2:53
  You're just you know, that's not gonna happen. I'm so glad that they
• 2:54
  did that. But Lindsay was on our dates. Right when I heard the
• 3:00
  mom and dad was like, this is her house too. So if you're
• 3:01
  so you chaperoned. Yeah, yeah, okay, good. But she is
• 3:07
  the most fun, Like, yeah, a lot of people see our videos
• 3:12
  from fourth of July or from New Year's Eve, and she's the game planner.
• 3:16
  She's the one that keeps the fun. She's the one that taught our
• 3:19
  kids to say all the gross things that an uncle would normally teach them.
• 3:23
  Sure, okay, so as the baby, a couple of things like I
• 3:29
  got to stand up for you here a little bit. I don't think it's
• 3:31
  so much that the rules change. It's just that we've got to see all
• 3:35
  the things they did wrong, and we find a way not to do that
• 3:38
  thing wrong, and we find a way around. Is that fair? No?
• 3:42
  I was perfect. I made all the right choices, and you know
• 3:49
  you got to Yeah, you know she was one also, And I will
• 3:53
  say this, we all wanted to do. You know, everyone says she
• 3:55
  was Dad's favorite. She was all of our favorites. She was the little
• 3:59
  athlete. That's true. She you know, we all wanted. I wanted
• 4:01
  her to be my favorite, so I would. I was her favorite for
• 4:04
  a long time. But not anymore. Wait, no, I'm still favorite.
• 4:08
  Excuse me that when I would take her swing in and so I took
• 4:11
  you didn't spend nearly as much time as I did. But lindsay, who
• 4:14
  who oh my god? Okay, But when she went to go play volleyball
• 4:17
  let seluh. We all drove wherever she was whenever we could, with our
• 4:24
  cumula, with her baby and babies in tow me with steal in toe because
• 4:28
  we, as you know, are so tight. Absolutely, and the role
• 4:31
  that she has filled has been, like I can't even imagine our role without
• 4:35
  a little baby sister. So do you think there's something to birth order?
• 4:40
  Does it? I mean it seems to have like it's y'all fit the the
• 4:45
  stereotype perfectly. Or do you think that that this is just a coincidence.
• 4:49
  No, I think it's one hundred percent. Birth order is right on target.
• 4:53
  In fact, in the studio, I have my middle child and I
• 4:56
  have my baby who's very much like Lindsay in being the baby of the house.
• 5:03
  Yeah, and Sonny, my middle child is the doer, planner organized.
• 5:09
  She's our go to person. She's a middle child, but she's the
• 5:11
  first daughter. She's the oldest daughter. Okay, you know what I mean.
• 5:14
  So there's a little bit of a first child that is his first daughter,
• 5:16
  right. And I'll tell you this about Lindsay. Kimberly and Lindsay would
• 5:20
  was able to talk to mom and Dad in ways that Kimberly and I never
• 5:24
  could. True. Yeah, because we were like, we were fearful we
• 5:27
  were gonna get in trouble. Somehow, some way, Lindsay was brought up
• 5:30
  where she could tell them whatever she really felt. I think there's something about
• 5:32
  being the youngest child and is just that. Oh yeah, I'm like,
• 5:36
  I'm the only person who can tell my parents some things. Yeah, Shane,
• 5:40
  do you feel careless? Yeah? I think because we're the funniest.
• 5:45
  True, it's true. That's scientific. If you like descar American Mama's a
