1. They will go on any kind of adventure with you. Whenever. Wherever. However.
Cliff-diving, country-hopping, sewer exploration, pool break-ins...Let’s be real -- most everyone else is too boring for all the things you really want to do, right?
2. They will always be straightforward with you. No buts.
Us girls over-complicate everything. The guys won’t.
3. They can beat morons up for you. Or stalk them. Or yell at them. Or pretend to be you but as transsexual on the phone to scare a creepy guy away.
(Don’t ask.)
4. They know who you’ve always been (for better or for worse), and they will fight for that you.
They know all your pipe-dreams, your awkward phases, your goofy sayings... and there’s nothing you can do about it. But they love it.
5.You can be utterly gruesome around them and they don’t care. At all. (Even when they probably should.)
You can burp. Or fart. Or do any obscene thing you can possibly think of. They’ll be right there with you.
6. Being real with your brothers is as real as it gets.
You don’t have to pretend to be anybody or anything. They already know you, and that’s the only you they’ll put up with. So get over it and be real, man!
7. Dare them to do anything at all, and they’ll do it. (It’s hilarious.)
Only maybe don’t make them trespass in the neighbor’s yard too much... they might get chased down...
8. They will support your rebellious side.
And you’ll both have a ton of fun going with it!
9. They will protect you from yourself.
You’re having one of those days where you can’t help but beat yourself to a pulp? Your brothers will fight you on it.
10. They love to have fun and be in the moment with you.
All of my best memories are with my brothers. The guys know how to have fun anywhere, at any time. And you don’t even have to ask.
11. They don’t care why they make you laugh. Or how. They just do it, and they keep doing it.
...Just for a reason to smile with you.
