There comes a time in life when, in the blink of an eye, your little brother becomes bigger, stronger, and faster than you. Now let me tell you, it is a very dark day when this happens. The years of being the bigger and older sister who bossed him around, teased him, the list of everything I have done to my brother is endless, but that is what older sisters are for...right? Unfortunately for me, my little brother who is four years younger than me has reached that point of age where roles have reversed and I am now in the shoes of the little sibling. With the roles being reversed, now there are a few things that have become the new normal.

1. "You're the older sister?"

When boys grow up, they tend to look very old very quick. This is where the questions of who is older comes into play. If I had a dollar for every time I was confused for being the younger of the two, I'd be rich.

2. Payback is a BITCH.

When you are little, you never think about the fact that one day your little brother will be bigger than you. The years of you being able to beat up your brother, boss him around, or nag him are long gone, and now he has years of abuse to make up for. Let me tell you, PAYBACK IS A BITCH.

3. They become protective over you.

Growing up, I have always been protective over him, making sure he was safe and happy. Now, although I will always be protective over my little brother, he has also started to become overly protective over me, and I can't say that I mind having him look out for me.

4. Hug me brotha!

Who doesn't love a good hug? It is even better when it comes from someone who is your best bud. Brother hugs are the best hugs.

5. They will always be your little brother.

NO matter that my little brother is bigger, stronger, and looks older than me. He will always be my little brother.
