Reader's Digest

1. There is Always a Favorite Sibling

Your parents will deny it until they are blue in the face, but everyone else knows who the favorite is.

2. They'll Do Anything You Ask... For a Price

Whether its doing some chore, or a favor, or anything really, you can always count on your siblings to help you out... in exchange for something else, usually money.

3. There is Always an Argument Over Something Stupid

It could be over the front seat, the last slice of pizza, or who gets the shower first, but there's always an argument.

4. All Food is Fair Game

Unless you bought it yourself, and put your name on it, any food in the house is up for grabs.

5. Don't Expect Your Clothes to Stay in Your Closet

Your sibling will steal your clothes, and they will lie about it, and there's a chance that it will be lost or ruined.

6. You Will Get in Trouble for Something You Didn't Do

You will get blamed for something that you didn't do, usually it happens when someone gets hurt or something get's broken.

7. You Will Never Have Any Privacy... Ever

There is no place to hide. No matter how hard you try, there will always be someone sticking their nose in your business, and it's most likely your mom.

8. "I Barely Hit You"/"Shut Up, You're Fine"

Someone will get hurt, it's inevitable, and the assailant will either try to play it off or cover it up, and if they're really desperate they will let you hit them back.

9. Your Mom Will Always Forget Your Name

It's not their fault, every mother does it, when there's a lot of children the names get all jumbled up and sometimes the wrong one slips out.

10. At Least One Sibling has been Left Somewhere

Though this one isn't as common, sometimes with all the commotion of going somewhere one sibling slips through the cracks and gets left behind.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship?

Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
