13 Things Everyone Who Grew Up With Sisters Understands

Growing up with sisters has its pros and cons. Screaming, crying, pulling hair, stealing clothing, sharing bedrooms, and inside jokes are just some of the things that people who grew up without sisters will never understand. Sisters have that special bond that no one can break, but the ability to ruin each others days in one sitting. To all the girls who grew up with sisters, this one is for you.

1. The morning bathroom struggle.

Being close in age to your siblings is sometimes a bitch. Especially when there are two teenage girls living under one roof and have 40 minutes to get ready for school. Screaming, crying, pushing, and shoving ensued.

2. "She's touching me."

Whether you were touching her or not, this phrase was a staple between sisters. Car rides, sharing the couch, or standing in line, someone always uttered, "She's touching me!"

3. When someone tells you that your sister is hot.

When she started to grow up, boys began to notice. This was something you chose to ignore and were completely annoyed with.

4. Best friends one minute, worst enemies the next.

One minute you might be sitting on the couch laughing and chatting, but the next you might be screaming your heads of about something that happened on March 12, 2007, when she wore your shoes and looked at you funny.

5. Always knowing who was in the bathroom last.

You could always tell who had taken the last shower or who was going out that night based on the product on the counter and the amount of hair left on the shower walls.

6. "I barely touched you."

This translated to "I just smacked the sh*t out of you and I'll kill you if you tell mom," and was usually accompanied by crying, a welt or both.

7. Finding sneaky ways to be rude to each other.

Finding a new and silent way to be hateful around your parents was an art form. Whether it's a unique way to flip someone the bird or a way to tell them to screw off, you were a master.

8. Seeing her leave the house in your clothes.

"Is that my shirt? Take off my shirt you brat."

*panicked screaming*

*running through house*

9. Blackmail.

Promising never to tell your parents was something you always agreed to, but it obviously came at a small price.

10. When your parents take your side in an argument.

There was nothing more rewarding than the look of defeat on your sister's face when your parents picked your side and defended you in an argument.

11. Matching outfits.

Matching. Sweaters. Everywhere.

12. Endless questions.

"Why?"

"What for?"

"Can I go?"

"Are those your friiiiiends?"

13. Having a best friend for life.

No matter the fights or the trials, your sister is your best friend for life. You have a built in partner-in-crime, a road trip buddy, a confidant, and a secret keeper. She will forever be your best friend.

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.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. 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.
