You can try to deny it, but growing up as the girl with only brothers changes you. Of course, you’re still girly in your own way, but living in a house full of boys is a different lifestyle and it shapes the person you are whether you like it or not. For example:

1. You grew up at the baseball/football field because your brothers had practices and games that you had to go sit at.

(You actually became one of their biggest fans, even though you didn't always pay attention.)

2. And because you grew up at these places, throwing a football and swinging a bat become second nature to you as well.

(It’s just one of those things you learn: walking, talking, swinging a bat.)

3. Playing with your siblings included a lot less dress-up and a lot more wrestling.

(And trust me they show no mercy just because you’re a girl.)

4. Playing with toys was always fun because you mixed your Barbie dolls with some of your brothers' action figures which meant double the toys for you.

(Action figures and army men always made for a good plot twist in Barbie's dream house.)

5. Some of your first crushes were on your older brother’s friends.

(When you got more excited that your brother's friend was coming over for a play date than your brother did.)

6. You grew up watching "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings" instead of the "Barbie" and "Bratz" movies.

(And they never made sense to you as a child, but you watched them anyways because that's just what was on.)

7. Nobody actually taught you how to put on makeup properly so it was a trial-and-error type of thing.

(Throwback to the days of heavy bottom eyeliner and colored eyeshadow.)

8. However sharing clothes means stealing all of your brothers’ oversized t-shirts and sweatshirts which is always nice.

(And the best part is that you can steal your brothers’ clothes but they can’t really steal yours.)

9. You realize that you’ve always had more guy friends than girl friends because you’re more comfortable talking to them.

(Because let's be real here, sometimes girls are just downright intimidating and way too dramatic.)

10. When the family is voting on something the women are always outnumbered.

(Every time. There’s no way around it. It’s rigged.)

11. And you’re usually outnumbered about changing the channel from ESPN to something else…

(Literally anything else. I can’t take those commentators’ voices and whistles anymore, I'm starting to lose it)

12. So inevitably your family’s eating schedule revolves around the games, forcing you to down your meals so that y'all can get home before kickoff.

(Priorities, man.)

13. Whenever your brothers do bring home girls, you critique them because this could potentially be one of your only sisters.

(You’ve only got a few shots at this so you're darn right she's going to be judged.)

14. Because they’re boys and don’t understand us women, you can use the “time of the month” excuse in your favor.

(Even if you’re lying because how would they know?)

15. Sometimes you wish you had a big sister who would curl your hair and give you dating advice like your other friends have.

16. But then you realize that houses full of girls have a lot more crying, fighting, and drama so you’re kind of happy you avoided that.

(I imagine it to be something like "Keeping Up With The Kardashians.")

17. But even though you mess with each other, you love your brothers and wouldn’t have wanted to grow up any other way.

(You know deep down that you wouldn't be the way you are today without them.)

Yes, being the only girl may consist of way too much ESPN and not very many heart to heart talks, but having brothers is one of the biggest blessings in my life and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
