I hit my infant sister’s face when my parents brought her home from the hospital. Yes, I wanted to punch my mother as she bent down to introduce me to my baby sister. I believe I realized then, even though I wasn’t even two, that the child was going to give me a serious competition. She certainly gave me a run for my money, but she’s also the best thing that has ever happened to me.
My best friend is definitely my sister Jennie. Like all sisters, we’ve had our ups and downs, particularly in high school when I was the oddball art kid and she was a part of the “cool” set. But when it came right down to it, you were messing with both of us if you were messing with one of us.
My sister is the most significant person in my life, despite all of our differences. Not only is she my closest friend, but she is also my complete self. I have little doubt that many other people who have sisters also feel this same.
Is your best friend also your sister? These are twenty-five ways to tell.
The only person who is truly permitted to tell you the truth is her.
IF SOMEONE TALKS UGLY ABOUT YOU, SHE’S THE FIRST TO AGREE WITH YOU.
This still holds true even if you’re engaged in a personal conflict.
DOWNSIZING THE PHONE DUE TO DULL DISCUSSIONS IS A WEEKLY TRADITION.
But calling and crying over how much you miss her is also OK.
The only person who can consistently make you laugh until it hurts is her.
Whenever it’s your birthday, she always knows exactly what to get you.
It’s always something absurd, but it’s also helpful. I received a box of her old wool socks this year. It was fantastic.
THE ONLY PERSON YOU ALLOW to defeat you in scrabble is her.
Alternatively, any other game would do.
…and the people you yell at because you lost
ONE AND ONLY SHE HAS AUTHORIZATION TO PHONE YOU ON A SUNDAY AT 7 A.M.
or who has the right to humiliate you in front of your friends by telling you old stories?
Yes, my sister loves to tell people that I used to sit on the toilet and sing about wanting to be an actress.
ALL YOU CAN DO IS GO IN FRONT OF HER.
When my sister was pregnant, she called me to the bathroom so I could see her mucus plug. Still working on getting better.
