National Siblings Day! Do You Have the "Perfect" Number?

Happy National Siblings Day!  Do you have the "perfect" number of siblings?  A recent poll from The Huffington Post asked people what it is.  The top answer was TWO siblings, so three kids total.

I have two little brothers and that is enough for me! We are three years and then six years apart with me being the oldest. That in itself has been and will always be a full-time job in itself being the oldest!

The recent poll found 88% of us grew up with at least one brother or sister.  But what's thee best number of siblings to have? People were asked how many they wished they had growing up.

26% said TWO siblings is perfect . . . 19% said one . . . 18% said three . . . and ZERO siblings got 14% of the vote.
