While having a brother or sister may be annoying at times, deep down we truly love our siblings, and wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world.
Unless of course we’re the Olsen Twins, singing Brother For Sale. We’re just kidding. But not really. No, we’re really kidding.
Anyway, LifeDaily has compiled 17 Things Only People Who Have Siblings Would Understand:
17. You would always steal each other’s clothes
Even if you are the opposite sex, I bet you were always taking your brothers sweatpants, and claiming them as your own pajamas.
16. Getting ready in the morning was an experience
When your sibling is about to get in the shower, you jump up and say “I was just going in the shower!” Even though you totally weren’t, you were catching up on your last few minutes of Zzzzz…..
15. Jealousy
You can find anything to be jealous about: what your sibling has- their grades, their clothes, their boyfriend or girlfriend, you can get jealous of just about anything.
14. Hiding your favorite snacks was a thing
Yup, those Raisinets are totally laundry. When mom brought home your favorite snacks, your brothers and sisters always had their spot where they hid them. They think you didn’t know about this hiding spot, but you always did.
13. You have a lot of acquaintances
When you have siblings, you have way more acquaintances and friends. You are always being referred to as “so and so’s brother or sister”.
12. You had to be a walking encyclopedia
Whenever someone asked you about your siblings, you were expected to know every detail about their lives. So Maggie how old is your brother now? Maggie: “Ummmm……..
11. Mistaken identities
Your parents often call you by your siblings name, and you are so used to it that it doesn’t even phase you. “Bobbbbbbb! No, Janet Mom, it’s Janet.
1o. Memory lane
These frequent conversations start with “Remember that time..” and they’re usually always brought up around new people, because your sibling loves to tell that story as many times as he/she could.
9. Food is a precious commodity
Once mom brings home food, you better snag it right away, unless it’s gone.
8. Competition all day
Who is smarter, who can win at basketball, who’s more attractive, who has better hair- these are common conversations you have had.
7. Fighting over seats
Fighting over who sits where at the dining room table might have been a thing in your household. You would usually sit in the same seat all the time, and if you’re brother or sister dare sit in your seat, it was not pretty.
6. Passing the buck
Your parents asks you for help, and you immediately pass it on to your sister: “Brittany would be great at that, she knows all about it.” (Even though Brittany is clueless.)
5. Game nights are filled with drama
One of you is always really angry that they lost, because you guys are so competitive. The other gets really excited because you’re really mad, and things get ugly.
4. Use each others stuff
If you share a bathroom, your sibling has probably used up all your soap, shampoo and conditioner, and never replaced it.
3. Weird noises
You make weird noises to each other, usually using the words: Ewwww. Gross. Uggghh.
2. Argue over Grandma
If you have a sibling, you’re usually arguing over who Grandma loves more. You can even go as far as to ask Grandma whom she loves more, which she’ll respond and say: “I love both of you the same.”
1. But, if you have a sibling you were never lonely
Car rides were never boring, family dinners were always entertaining, and you never felt alone. Your sibling may annoy you to death, but at the end of the day you love them, and will always be there for them.
