28 Childhood Memories You Can Only Make If You Grew Up With Siblings by Nobody: 5:46pm On Nov 14, 2015
1. You thrived off of eavesdropping whenever your
siblings were getting in trouble.
2. Peak excitement was watching your sibling say
something rude or snappy to your parents because
you knew they were about to get punished.
3. You would always scream “I CAN’T BREATHE!!!!”
when your siblings would gang up and try to
pummel you.
4. You would open up bags of chips and/or boxes
of cookies really quietly in the kitchen so that you
could enjoy the unhealthy deliciousness in peace.
But for some reason, your siblings had a sixth
sense of knowing when you were snacking, and
would always come find you and ask to share.
5. If your sibling started crying because of
something you did, you would shush them and, in
a state of sheer panic over what your parents were
going to do to you, allow your sibling to punch
you for free.
6. The phrase “don’t tell your brother/sister”
sparked an indescribable feeling of giddiness
within the inner most depths of your soul.
7. When you guys would fight over which channel
to watch, one of you would either run up and turn
off the tv entirely or cover the cable box so that the
others couldn’t change the channel.
8. If your siblings dared to try and sit in the front
seat of the car, you would put them in a headlock.
9. You would always get into fights about who was
the laziest/ dumbest/ least liked by your parents.
10. The fastest you’ve ever run was when your
sibling would declare that they were going to take
a shower at the same time as you.
11. Deciding where to go and what to do took
hours of voting and negotiation—and no matter
what, someone always ended up pissed.
12. Anytime you guys would go upstairs, it would
result in tripping or pulling someone down the
stairs. There was perpetually an unspoken rule that
going up the stairs together meant you were
racing.
13. You always tried to separate yourself when
your parents would collectively yell at all of you.
“NONE of you EVER feed the dog!”
“MOM! How DARE you? Remember December
12th, 2010? Don’t involve me, it’s them !!!”
14. It didn’t matter how old or big you were, you
always wrestled to settle a dispute.
15. If you were the oldest and you were babysitting
your younger siblings, you would always threaten
to call your parents/the police if nobody was
listening to your commands.
16. If you were the youngest, you always got the
“Oh! You’re _________’s little sister/brother!” from
faculty. The teacher’s tone would foreshadow how
they would treat you for the rest of the school
year.
17. Whenever your mom would tell you to do
something you would go tell another sibling that
your mom wanted them to do it.
18. Everything was somehow made into a
competition.
19. Whenever you’d watch tv together, you would
always point at the ugly or evil characters on the
screen and say “that’s you.”
20. You all love going through old childhood
photos and making fun of what everyone used to
look like (remember how your sister had a bowl
cut for more than half of her life? LOL).
21. There’s always that one sibling who you told
was adopted/found in a dumpster.
22. When your parents would call for you, they
would accidentally call out and go through every
other siblings’ name before they got to yours.
23. You have super weird, unexplainable inside
jokes with each other.
24. Whenever one of your siblings would beckon
you over, you were always skeptical because there
was a significantly high chance that they were just
going to hit you for no reason other than your
close proximity.
25. You would taunt your siblings about whether
you were going to tell on them. It was always a
high-stakes negotiation.
26. You knew EXACTLY what made them angry
and upset. It was so easy to get them riled up.
Unfortunately that worked the other way around
too, and they knew what things to say to make you
drop to your knees and sob.
27. You can’t see it when people tell you and your
siblings that you look the same.
28. You never understood why your friends
thought your siblings were “so nice!”

cheesy cheesy

I can relate very well with this

21. There’s always that one sibling who you told
was adopted/found in a dumpster.

My very troublesome kid sister. Whenever she got on my nerves, i tell her 'our' family was only helping her grin

Then my immediate younger sister who would never let me enjoy my meat or fish in peace. We are all married now and whenever we visit each other, we still fight over the protein in my plate or hers whoever is eating at that point in time. Our spouses just have a good laugh at our unending 'childishness' cheesy

Siblings are good but could also be a pain in the bombom grin

God bless all my siblings......love you all plenty wink

When one of your sibling says he want to poo,that's when you run inside the toilet(even if you don't want to poo) so they can poo on themselves or beg you to come out cheesy
