I’ve always thought that one of my greatest gifts was being granted an older brother. I was never jealous of my friends with younger siblings or sisters, because I have always looked up to my brother so much (I may regret admitting this later). Here are just a few reasons why having an older brother is absolutely the best:
They will make fun of your parents with you
One of my favorite things to do is harass my parents (I know, I need a life), and there’s nothing like having my brother join in on the fun.
They will bring you in for show-and-tell when they are in 2nd grade and you are an infant because they think you are so damn cool:
Well, maybe not every brother will do this but mine did… seriously…
They always offer their honest opinion… even if it’s a little too honest:
I always appreciate my brother’s honesty (although I sometimes cry from it).
They have hot friends:
Did I really just admit that?…
They show you the best music and movies:
I swear the reason why I can rap to old-school Kanye or quote Remember the Titans word-for-word is because my brother introduced me to those things at a young age.
They attempt to toughen you up when you’re younger
I probably still have some bruises, to be honest.
They will force you to get out of your comfort zone:
For example, he will make you play a Texas Hold ’em tournament with his friends when you are 12.
They tell you which guys are worth your time and which to forget:
This is always priceless information, ladies.
They are extremely protective:
You never have to question if they will go to bat for you, because they will make it KNOWN.
They will always be there for you:
Even when friends fade, brothers will always be there for you.
Love you to pieces, Chris!
