Siblings.
They're a bunch of random people who happen to share a few looks and fewer personality traits with you. They're the people you wouldn't trade for anything, but would sometimes trade for nothing. But even when your siblings drive you up a wall, you know they're some of the closest friends you'll ever have. Here are five reasons you should keep your siblings by your side no matter what.
1. You can't get rid of them.
Literally, you're stuck with your siblings for the rest of your life. They're always going to be there for you, whether you want them or not. So you might as well make the best of it.
2. They know you better than anyone else.
Your siblings have lived with you for their entire lives. They know your best qualities, and they know your worst qualities, too. But they love you regardless.
3. They've taught you everything you know.
You may not think so, but most of who you are is because of who you grew up with. Your siblings taught you how to be patient. They helped you develop your sense of humor. They showed you how to laugh at yourself -- and how to laugh with others.
4. The inside jokes are incomparable.
Remember how your siblings know you better than anyone? They've been there for your proudest moments and also the most embarrassing times of your life. You've probably shared more experiences with your siblings than you have with anyone else. So the list of jokes and references you can make about times only you and your siblings have experienced is endless -- and hilarious.
5. They were handpicked for you.
Your siblings might seem like the most random people on Earth to be stuck with, but God picked them specifically to be related to you for reasons only He knows. You might not understand why you share a family with these crazy people, but you can definitely be sure that there's a good reason!
