Anyone with siblings knows that they are: your partners in crime, greatest foes, sources of endless laughter and conflict, items of envy and closest confidantes, moral compasses and inspirations for rebellion.

You share an unparalleled bond with your siblings, and only those who have grown up with them can understand the true craziness involved. So here they are, just some of the ridiculous things you've thought were normal, but to anyone else, maybe not quite so.

1. You have fought over who has gotten more potatoes than you at dinner.

2. You get irrationally angry when you find your socks and underwear in your sibling's drawer.

3. Everything is a competition

4. and no matter your birth order, it is essential that you win.

5. They push you to your limits.

6. And sometimes pass your limits...

7. You've declined party invitations in favor of vegging on the couch with your siblings.

8. You have turned cleaning dishes into a competitive assembly line.

9. No matter how many times people tell you you look alike, you are shocked every time.

10. Hot water is a limited resource.

11. You have spent over an hour trying to agree on a movie.

12. So yeah, there are some conflicts, but you realize that fighting actually brings you closer together.

13. You tell 'em like it is. Your siblings are stuck with you forever anyway, so there is no need to sugar coat the truth.

15. And for the same reason, you can be your truest, craziest self with them.

16. When someone reveals they are an only child, you don't know how to respond, because you are secretly feeling sorry for them.

17. Because, through all the craziness, you know you would not trade your siblings in for the world.
