Having a brother can be a wild adventure! Even the sweetest little boys can be a handful, and when they have a sister, the fun—and chaos—reaches new heights. My son, while kind-hearted, sure knows how to push the limits, and his little sister is right there, absorbing it all. For her, he’s a superhero who can do everything cool, from biking to making funny sounds. Below are some of the delightful antics that girls with brothers often engage in:
- Tumble over and declare, “Oh no! My nuts!”
- Sort people into two groups: those with “Peanuts” and those with “Giants,” and thankfully, her mispronunciation keeps grocery trips a little less awkward.
- Lounge around in her underwear like her brother, complete with the occasional scratch and burp.
- Perfectly imitate a zombie, complete with dramatic eye rolls and groans for brains.
- Be well-versed in the world of zombies, vampires, and even characters like Storm Troopers and The Legends of Chima (which I still don’t quite understand).
- Relieve herself anywhere she pleases, only to panic because standing to do so isn’t an option.
- Ditch dolls and play kitchens to hide her brother’s prized Star Wars Lego pieces and climb on him while he’s deep into Minecraft.
- Seek out the tallest slides and steepest hills, ready to launch herself off. I’d pay anything for a tutu that transforms into a parachute!
- Surprise and outmatch friends who lack older brothers in playful combat scenarios.
- Let out loud farts while wearing her favorite Hello Kitty underwear—and laugh like a maniac afterwards.
- Stand her ground and express her opinions on a myriad of topics; my day often revolves around negotiating with a feisty three-year-old about wearing pants and the art of booger-eating.
- Create “masterpieces” in the blink of an eye, often before I can even notice the sudden silence.
- Boogers? Not my favorite, but apparently, they’re a delicacy in her world.
- Transform fairy wings into superhero capes, wands into swords, and princess crowns into tools for catching worms.
- Burst into tears when she learns she won’t ever have a penis.
