13 Things You Know To Be True If You Grew Up With Brothers
Bridget Ells

Growing up with two brothers had its benefits and downsides. Even though it came with a "wrestling education" I always knew I had them to protect me. I know girls who grew up with brothers and brothers only can relate.

1. Writing your name in bold letters all over your leftovers box

Adding a devil with horns might do the touch too! People who grew up with brothers knew you had to fend for your food.

2. You know how to throw a football properly

On rare occasions they'd let you join them playing toss in the yard...ONLY if you knew how to spiral the football properly.

3. They never steal your clothes but you most definitely steal their cool jerseys

"Bridget, where did my bulls basketball jersey go?"

4. It's easier to shop for your boyfriend because you know what men like most for gifts

Instead of looking up "boyfriend gift ideas" on Pinterest, you have the best resource guides right in front of you.

5. You're spoiled

Being the only girl, you get spoiled a little extra! Yes it'd be different if you had sisters, and no you're not complaining about it!

6. You sat through all their sports games

And you bet you were their #1 fan!

7. Fart jokes, poop jokes, fart jokes, fart jokes

The jokes always seemed to be at the worst times: the dinner table, out in public, or when your friends were over.

8. There isn't ever any "petty" drama

There's never any petty drama like what you might have with sisters. You can push each others buttons and laugh about it at the end of the day.

9. You get giddy when you can watch an episode of HGTV, because sports is on the TV 24/7

You're singled out when you have brothers because sports will ALWAYS win the majority vote.

10. You lowkey crushed on your older brother's friends

All girls can relate there was that one friend your older brother had that you always thought was cute growing up.

11. The toilet seat was always up

No matter how many times you reminded them, you always ended up flicking the seat down.

12. You've gained a high patience level and thick skin

You turned into a pretty tough chick from all the troubles your brothers gave you!

13. At the end of the day, you feel extremely lucky to have them.

You know they're always going to have your back and you're going to have theirs. Brothers are the biggest blessings.

Besides, your mom can play the role of your sister anyway!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
