Growing Up With Brothers
Annelise Tortorich

When your siblings are aggravating you, but your parent is in the room.

Playing with toys involved Barbie and G.I. Joe hanging out.

Instead of dressing up like a princess, your costume was Superman.

You realize you have more guy friends because you're more comfortable around them from growing up around your brothers and their friends.

Everything is a competition, and if you were not at the top, you were the loser.

Whenever your brother brings home a girl, your parents expect you to know everything about her.

Sometimes you wish you had an older sister to get hand me downs.

But then you realize you can just take your brothers' oversized t-shirts.

Even though they were boys, your mom still found ways to make you match.

Among all of the kids, someone always had a ball game at the park or at school.

Therefore, you were always there, and technically, you could consider yourself their #1 fan.

You grew up watching sports and Star Wars, because being the youngest, you never had a say.

Playing with your brothers involved a lot of wrestling, tears, and band-aids.

You have a wingman, that is, if they choose to claim you.

Getting in a fight with them and hitting them, but then running away as fast as you can because you know they're stronger than you.

Who else would do stupid things with you?

Your food is never safe in the refrigerator.

Going somewhere and somebody recognizes you as __'s sister.

Sometimes you even get mistaken for twins because one particular thing is the same...red hair.

Sometimes they buy you food, but sometimes they "forget their wallet," and you have to pick up the check.

They make sure to know your guy friends, and they make sure you know if they like them.

They love taking pictures with you.

They team up against you, or with you (it depends on the day).

You had a chauffeur before you could drive.

They always have your back.

They never let you give up.

You can never live without them.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
