A couple had seven children and named each of them after the day they were born. Luckily, every one of them were born on different days so no one was named Monday II or Tuesday 3.0. Seven individuals, seven different characteristics.

Monday is always the first to rise. She always tried her best to appease others but try as she might, her younger siblings just don't seem to like her. They find her annoying just because she always gets new things. Her parents never really gave her much attention as they were too busy caring for her younger siblings. They think that she should be able to take care of herself. As a result, Monday was an unhappy girl.

Tuesday is the second child. She is very happy to have younger siblings that she could boss around. Her favourite colour is yellow and her first word was "Now." Her affinity for books is so huge that half of her room was dedicated to it. She once spent all of her allowance money on books. Luckily Monday was kind enough to share her allowance money with her.

Wednesday, the first boy for the couple. He was adored and has a cheeky smile. As a result, he is a spoilt brat. He bullies his siblings and friends except for Tuesday. Tall and has a muscular build, girls love him. Adding to his cheeky nature, he has fluffy hair.

Thursday the middle child. A lady filled with grace and wit. Often acts like the peacemaker among her siblings. Her blue eyes shine with compassion that she refuses to eat meat. Her hair is always kept neat and proper, just like her brain.

Friday, the second boy in the family. He's loud, rowdy, disrespectful but still adored by all. His dimples could get him away with anything. His older sisters adore him while his younger siblings look up to him. To them, he is the perfect epitome of a teenager. He is disrespectful but still resepectful. He finds the balance in these kind of things.

Saturday was expected to be the last child. The couple could not cope with the expenses and noise levels. Saturday was a chubby and jovial boy. He makes his parents' day by just flashing his toothy grin. A hindsight was that he is lazy. He often sleeps and laze around instead of helping with chores around the house. His room often looks like the aftermath of a hurricane. A messy boy indeed.

Then along came Sunday. Her arrival was welcomed by mixed feelings. Some were happy, some were suprised and one was jealous. With her big brown eyes, everyone came to love her. Though money was tighter than ever, her parents still love her.

And that was the story of the children who were named after the days they were born.
