If your parents are lucky, they got blessed with at least two darling girls. Being a sister isn’t for the weak. It takes real guts to live with another female with the same DNA as you.
1. Clothes go missing.
If you’re ever looking for your new sweater, your favorite t-shirt, or any other article of clothing or shoes, check her closet. Or her body. It’s probably there.
2. And so does food.
Have you seen my leftovers?” No no, I have not. “Uh huh sure you haven’t…” I mean, neither of us can see them now.
3. Life is fueled by competition.
It doesn’t matter if it’s boys, Wii games, grades or even how many Red Hots you can eat without drinking water, she’s going down.
4. Fighting goes beyond fists.
You can throw things. You can yell things. You can pull hair. Just get crafty.
5. And it lasts a long time.
Not minutes. Maybe not even hours. More often than not it’s at least a day. Maybe more.
6. Age is not just a number.
If you’re 16 and your sister’s 18, you have a way different relationship if you’re 16 and she’s 20.
7. There is always some else to blame.
“Did you break the new wine glasses?” No, I just washed them, maybe it was my sister (No it was me, but I don’t want you to yell at me).
8. You never need someone else to recommend TV shows.
Your Netflix list is always full of the latest shows and movies she recommended because she is your sister and she does know you better than anyone else.
9. You’ll always have at least one like on Instagram.
“Did you see my Insta post?” No, I haven’t been on since last night. “Go like it. I want to get 100 likes.”
10. You have the same mortal enemies.
Also known as mom and dad.
11. You get called the wrong name all the time.
It happens at school, at church, at the grocery store, by your parents’ friends, by your grandmother, by your mother...
12. Sharing is not an option.
It’s a requirement. One nobody is fond of, but having two of everything is not an option. Apparently.
13. You have the most adorable pet names for one another.
Hey, troll. What do you want, child? Sup female dog.
14. You have separate Pinterest board just for her.
“Hey, I just found this recipe for gingerbread cheesecake dip on Pinterest, want me to save it for you?” Uh yes, please.
15. You have a best friend for life.
No matter what happened last year, last week or even yesterday, she’s your number one confidant. You can go to her for anything about anything. Overall you’re lucky to have her.
