At least you didn’t share your birthday with a sibling. My brother and I were born 3 years apart, and always had one birthday party for both of us. Try designing games for a group of 5 year olds and a group of 8 year olds. Or 10s and 13s. Or a cake for a 5yo who loves clowns and an 8yo who’s deathly afraid of them.
