Today, my little brother is my best friend, but it wasn't always that way.

Growing up, he was a booger and I didn't necessarily like him very much. And although life is different now that we live on opposite sides of the state, growing up with a little brother was like being in your own secret club, because there was certain things only he and I connected on and could do to each other.

Nobody else really understood. But trust me, nobody else wanted to understand; it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.

1. "I'll tell mom."

2. Having a "tag along" all the time.

3. Everything he does annoys you.

4. The horrible things he did to you.

5. Car rides with him.

6. Fights over things he thought was his.

7. "Is that your brother?"

8. Never doing anything stupid alone.

9. When he touches you and you just...

10. Having somebody to blame.

11. Having somebody to love you always.

Because lets be honest, you're family. He has to love you.
