It's very interesting that both you and your brother remember that uncomfortable experience as happening to your own self, rather than to your sibling. Maybe your bond to each other was (and hopefully still is) so tight that you sort of felt each other's discomfort.

I don't know, but it sounds like your family is super close in some ways, and that's awesome. Personally, I've always felt like I was an only child who somehow got plopped into the wrong family. Maybe my parents brought the wrong baby home from the hospital.
