My brother is the best person I have ever met, but that doesn't mean that growing up with him was easy. No matter the struggles, we still managed to have so many fun times along the way.

1. You're tough.

Being tough was key to survival.

2. You had a crush on every boy he brought home.

You even told your friends you were going to marry them.

3. Ex boyfriend problems? Never fear.

Brothers live to scare the mess out of the boys who hurt their sisters.

4. So. Many. T-shirts.

I'm pretty sure my love for over sized t-shirts started here.

5. You love sports.

College Football Saturdays are mandatory.

6. You were always taken on cool adventures.

With this, came the heap of trouble you both got in when Mom found out.

7. He always did your heavy lifting for you.

*Little girl voice* "Hey Bubba, will you pick up this box, please?"

8. Him leaving the dang toilet seat up was nine times out of ten the reason you two were fighting.

I've fallen in the toilet more times than I'd like to admit.

9. Your high school teachers knew you as his little sister.

... And they either loved you or they hated you.

10. You had your own personal driver.

If he was going out, so were you. You even got some form of dessert so you wouldn't tell your parents where you were.

11. You had the inside scoop on the older crowd.

Only because the walls are thin and boys are not good with secrets.

12. Ordered too much food? You're in luck.

Take it home. You just acquired your new bargaining tool.

13. He's your best friend.

Growing up without him is unthinkable.
