If you give a boy a sister, he probably won't like it at first.
and chances are when he sees her for the first time in your mother's arms, he might wish that she was a boy instead.
He may think about all the things he would be able to do with his sibling if she were a boy.
When he sees her cry for the first time, he might ask to hold her.
Then while he holds her in his arms, he will probably make a promise to himself to love her anyways.
When he promises to himself to love her always, he realizes that he might have to protect her.
So he might ask his mother if he can go wherever she goes.
He will lay beside her as she sleeps.
He will be there when she cries,
He will be there when she wakes up.
He will be there as she grows.
As he gets older, he realizes that she can be a little bit annoying.
She may pick fights with him, or play the blame game.
He may think for just a moment that he hates her, but he knows in his heart that is a lie.
When she annoys him, he may just start a play wresting match.
He probably would be able to win every time, but he lets her win anyways.
She may gloat a little too much afterwards, that he'll get frustrated .
So he may rain on her parade and say that he let her win.
It would probably make her cry, and he would feel bad.
So he will probably give her a hug, and apologize.
When he apologizes, he will probably promise to himself to never make her cry again.
He doesn't like it when tears flow down her cheeks.
So when her heart gets broken for the first time, he will be there.
He may think about tracking down the person who left her broken, but he realizes that she needs him more than ever.
When he realizes that she will always need him, he vows to be her best friend.
When you give a boy a sister, he may not like her at first...
but chances are, he'll love her anyway.
