If you're a girl and you grew up with any number of brothers, older or younger, you know it's always a party in the house. I personally grew up with three older brothers, and even though at times we hated each other, they're my best friends at the end of the day. Here's some thing's I've learned to be true growing up with brothers.

1. They'll never steal your clothes, but you still steal theirs.

I always knew when I heard footsteps pounding down the hallway to my room it was more than likely one of my older brothers coming to yell at me for taking one of their T-shirts... but hey, who can blame a girl for loving oversized T's?

2. Three brothers means three body guards.

Brothers pick on you and make fun of you, but if anyone else in the world did that then your brothers will always be there to throw a punch or two. They're my biggest protectors in life (besides my dad also)

3. There's never food in the house.

I don't know what it is, but boys just eat and eat and eat and their hunger never goes away. Now that I'm older when my brothers and I are home for the holidays, we make grocery trips daily.

4. Dirt was the new pink?

Meaning growing up with boys, they taught you how to get your hands dirty, how to throw a football, and you basically did everything with the guys ever since you could walk.

5. You always have someone to joke with at family gatherings.

Family gatherings and other events can sometimes be a drag, but having your brothers by your side to hang out with and joke about when dad's going to fall asleep in the chair after all the turkey from Thanksgiving makes it a little more bearable.

6. You always pull the "he hit me first" on mom and dad.

And it usually worked to get your brothers in trouble more than you were. Sorry boys!

7) You were known as "____'s little sister" all throughout school...

If you know how this feels, it's super annoying... but you were also proud to be their little sis at the same time (you just didn't want to admit it).

8. They do unnecessary things to make you mad...

But it usually makes for a good story later on in life!

9. They're the only people you can have petty fights with and know they're not leaving your side.

No matter what the fight is, even if you're physically fighting..they're still your brothers and will never be going anywhere. They're stuck being your brother.

10. You have a lifelong best friend.

Like I said, they're not going anywhere.. and at the end of the day, neither are you. You're always there for each other and will always be best friends.
