I grew up with three older brothers, and here's a little taste of what it was like.
1. Fighting
Growing up, you were a lot rougher than the other kids. You knew how to hold your own against your brothers, and no one could be worse than that.
2. Sports
You grew up playing and watching sports. Why would I be doing ballet when all my brothers are playing soccer?
3. Style
Let's just say you usually end up in the guys' section when you go shopping.
4. Overall taste
Not just your style, but your overall taste in things is different than other girls. Movies, music, TV—basically, we are the ones watching "Game of Thrones" every Sunday.
5. Protection
You always have someone to protect you and you know you can always rely on the phrase, “I have three older brothers," so no one would mess with you.
6. Intimidation
It's nice to know that you have protection, but they also intimidate people. There’s always a warning before bringing a guy home for the first time: "Ignore everything my brothers say."
7. Crushes
At least one friend has had a crush on your brother, and you had to keep reminding them that it was your brother and you didn't want to hear how hot you think he is.
8. Friends
You were born having friends—you really don’t need other friends because you have your brothers.
9. Hand-me-downs
You always wear their old clothes. Where else would you get all your baggy t-shirts?
10. Your mom
Your mom was excited that she finally had someone to go shopping with—she no longer had to drag her sons to the mall because she finally had someone who actually wanted to go. This is on top of having someone to paint her nails with, pick out outfits, and overall just making sure that you don't become too masculine from your brothers.
11. Humor
Not everyone gets your humor, but at least your brothers do.
