15 Things That Will Happen When You And Your Brother Are Close Friends

When I was a kid, I used to always tell people that my best friend is my brother. Back then it seemed strange to some people, but as I've gotten older I have realized just how true this statement is. My brother and I's friendship has transcended school levels, puberty and many other life changes. But, when you're really good friends with your brother, a few things inevitably happen- for better or for worse. Here some of them.

1. You have endless inside jokes.

Some of them are from when you were in, like, preschool and you still find them hilarious. Even your parents don't understand them.

2. You share a lot of the same friends.

And it's really fun- most of the time.

3. You had the same imaginary friends when you were kids.

My little brother and I actually created an entire alternate universe. It was great.

4. You've competed with your brother in Wii bowling, MarioKart and other games more times than you can even remember.

It was some pretty tough competition too.

5. Sometimes, you both just start laughing for no apparent reason.

And it's usually too difficult to explain why even though both of you understand.

6. Sometimes, you even have entire conversations with each other without even saying a word.

7. You don't understand when other people say that they hate their siblings.

8. But at the same time, your brother knows exactly how to get on your nerves and sometimes, you're just like:

9. Especially when he pranks you and after all these years, you still fall for it.

10. When you go out in public, sometimes people think that you two are dating. And you both respond like...

11. And when you or your brother actually do start dating someone, the other one ends up really third-wheeling.

12. Sometimes, other girls "discreetly" ask about your brother because they're interested. And you're just like...

13. You also have each other's backs; if one of you is about to do something stupid, the other one will honestly say it.

14. On the other hand, if either of you mess up, the other is first to forgive and move on.

15. Because you're siblings and friends, at the same time. And that's what friends and family are for.
