8 Things All Siblings Know Too Well
As told by Ross and Monica Geller.
When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
You always have someone to tattle on.
If you’ve ever needed to get your parents to stop nagging on you, there was a sibling for that. You bickered back and forth trying to one-up each other, until suddenly all the cats were out of the bag.
You have an organized dance routine.
There was definitely a time in your lives when you and your sibling made a dance routine and put on a show for the rest of your family. Years later, you’re reminiscing about your childhood, and you find out you remember the routine perfectly.
You’ve fought for the family cup.
Sibling rivalries happen in every home, so it’s no surprise if you and your sibs compete against each other. Sometimes the winner cheats and sometimes the loser calls a rematch, so every year you play again to see who claims the family cup.
You have countless inside jokes.
Everything you and your sibs did when you were younger became a hilarious story when you grew up. No one will understand why saying just one word will put you and your siblings in a fit of laughter. All you can say is: "It's an inside joke between me and my siblings, you wouldn't understand."
You made your own insults.
Were there ever any words that you weren’t allowed to say when you were young? You had to come up with inventive ways to insult your sibs without being yelled at by your mom, so making a secret language or gesture was a thing.
You've seen each other at your worst.
But as a sibling, it's your job not to judge. You guide and support your sibling, just as they would for you. And maybe later down the road, you guys can laugh about it.
You know a little too much about your sibling.
Has there ever come a time when you and your sibling are having a conversation that’s a little too personal, but you think nothing of it? You may know some things about your sibling that you probably didn’t need to know, but hey, it’s your sibling.
You love each other no matter what.
You may bicker and fight with your sibling, and you’ll definitely be upset with them sometimes, but they are the most constant thing in your life. You and your siblings will always support and love each other.
