Most of the time when people find out that I am the only girl of four kids, they tell me that they feel sorry for me. All the time I hear things like, "Oh my gosh, you're the ONLY girl!? You POOR thing!" and, "You must get tired of being around all of those boys all the time." Well, here are 8 reasons why I wouldn't trade growing up with only brothers for the world.

1. There is seriously NEVER a dull moment.

Literally, never. Someone is always either laughing, yelling, or getting into some type of shenanigans.

2. You always have someone to get food with.

Late night Taco Bell run? You'll always have someone who wants to come with.

3. Even if they're younger, they'll always protect you.

This means threatening any boy that ever talks to you. Ever.

4. There are always over-sized T-shirts and sweatshirts to steal.

This also teaches you to be super sneaky because they'll kick your butt if they catch you with their stuff.

5. There is always something to do on the weekends.

Whether it be a Friday night football game or an all-weekend baseball tournament, you've always got plans.

6. All of their friends have crushes on you.

Let's face it, it's a little flattering.

7. You've learned essential survival skills.

Like where to hide snacks so no one will find them, and if you're really good, you've learned all of their hiding spots, too.

8. You know you'll always have a best friend no matter what.

And that's the best part of all.
