It's funny how the littlest, most seemingly unimportant things fuck you up.

I did a survey about language learning today. Some of the things it asks are what language(s) you use when talking to different categories of family members: parents, older relatives, siblings.

I got kind of stuck on "siblings." I tried ticking the "English" box first (i.e. answering the question properly). But it felt wrong.

I changed it to "not applicable" and that felt wrong too.

I don't even remember which of the two I ended up going with. But I can't forget how both options made me feel.

I never know how to answer these questions, any questions that boil down to "do you have brothers or sisters?" Yes and no are both inadequate.
