When You Give A Girl A Little Sister... Or 2

When you give a girl little sisters, you are giving her a lot more than just a family.

You also give her a new next door neighbor. There will be some nights you lay in bed next to each other watching Netflix and not saying a word. On the other hand, some nights you will get a hairbrush thrown at your face for even thinking about stepping foot into her room. When you get lazy you will scream through the walls to communicate or run into each other at 2 AM when you both can't sleep.

You will also get a whole new closet... or 2. If none of your clothes seem to suffice, no worries, because those next door neighbors I mentioned above, they have closets just waiting to be raided. At first, its great but one day one of them will prance in wearing the shirt you spent hours looking for. The rest of the house knows World War III may break out because, let's be real, this fight happens every. single. day.

You will always be someone's role model. Whether they like to admit it or not you are their number 1 role model. You test the waters for them and set the rules of the house. You get grounded first so they don't have to once their turn comes around. You are the one they looked up to the most. You will see this as them copying you and being annoying, but it is actually quite flattering.

You will always have someone to laugh with. They know you better than anyone, maybe even better than you know yours. They see some of your most embarrassing moments and will laugh with you about them when the times right... or 5 minutes later.

When you give a girl little sisters...

You will never be bored. Especially if there's more than one. The house will never be empty. You can drag them along on your pointless errands, and who knows you may find something for you two to do for the day. Maybe build a picnic table or a hammock? Just some ideas.

When you give a girl little sisters...

Your bargaining skills become impeccable. You all have your chores to do around the house so when your day for doing dishes comes along and you don't want to do them you offer to up $2 to whoever's desperate enough. May the odds be ever in your favor.

When you give a girl little sisters...

You most importantly, get two automatic best friends. You may fight (a lot) but you know they will always have your back just like you have theirs. They have seen you at your lowest lows and been there to celebrate your highs. You have someone to laugh with and shoulders to cry on. They are there to keep your secrets and threaten to spill them if you don't do their chores but you do the same so you can't complain.

The best part about giving a girl little sisters is getting to watch them grow up into people. They are no longer the babies.

They are playing Varsity Soccer and volunteering at Veterinarians offices. They are achieving things that I would have never thought they would and that is the best part about giving a girl 2 little sisters.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
