When you give a girl a little brother, she will learn a lot.
By the time she is five, he will be giving her advice on how to get that guy in her kindergarten class to take a second look at her.
As well as him giving her advice, he will ask her a countless number of times how to get that one girl to go on a date with him. She will run him through a list of things to do, and hopefully, the list will be successful.
Whenever she is unsure of what to wear to a school dance, a date, or a job interview, he will be the first she runs to for an opinion. He will do the same for her.
She will embarrass him whenever she gets the chance, just because it's fun to do.
She will take him on car rides, blasting both of their new music they've downloaded (because they both have similar music tastes). And when he is finally old enough to drive, he will be driving her to do the same.
She will teach him the ins and outs of middle school, of high school, and of college. She will give him tips on what to study for that certain class, how to ask a girl to Homecoming, and what to buy for his first dorm room.
She will listen to him run through class speeches, no matter how many drafts or typos. She will never hesitate to give full support or honest opinion.
Whenever a crappy day arises, she will drive with him to the nearest Canes to vent about their lives. This will include exquisite advice from the two of them, because they both deeply care about how the other is feeling.
When you give a girl a little brother, she definitely will have an odd feeling of resentment toward any girl that treats him wrongly (even if she doesn't want to admit it). And he most definitely will feel very opinionated when she tells him she wants to go back to a guy that certainly didn't treat her well.
He will tell her if she is not reaching her full potential, because he knows she can be better. She will do the same for him.
He will be the first to make a really funny joke about their mom at the dinner table, and they will both crack up because they are the only two that actually understand.
They will watch really scary movies together, funny movies, dramatic movies, at any night in the summer. They will eat ungodly amounts of ice cream, popcorn, and chips while doing so.
She will definitely get annoyed with him, and he will definitely get annoyed with her. This is most prominent in the younger years. But once high school hits, they have this weird bond starting where they actually begin to be friends. After this, nothing is ever the same.
When she starts to see him get older, get taller, or start dating girls, she may be confused. Where did my little brother go? He clearly isn't little anymore, considering he is 6'2. She'll be surprised on his 18th birthday, realizing this kid she played hot lava with jumping from living room couch to couch is now an adult.
But just because he is growing up doesn't mean the two will lose their bond. She knows no matter what happens, she will be the first person to give him amazing advice, she will be the first to give him dating advice, she will be the first to tell him not to wear that vest with those jeans, she will be the first to tell him that he can achieve anything he puts his mind to.
He will be the first to tell her of a book she would love, he will be the first to help her through a tough time, he will be the first to motivate her into achieving the things he believes she can do.
No matter the time that passes, the bond they share will be irreplaceable. No matter the distance, no matter the age, no matter how many kids they each have or how large their families get, their relationship will stay the same. There will be fighting, bickering, singing, laughing, but most of all- there will be lots of love.
Even though he will continue to get older, she knows she will always be his big sister. And he knows, behind a shadow of doubt, he will always be her little brother. That's a bond they will cherish forever.
