Growing up with siblings is always fun. Of course, sometimes we may resent them, but nevertheless, we never stop loving them.

  • Recently, a suitor decided to ask my sister about my favorite chocolate. She said milk chocolate with nuts. So, he went ahead and gave me 30 bars of this chocolate.
    But I can’t stand milk chocolate, and I’m allergic to nuts. Guess who’s sitting happily munching on my chocolate and watching her Turkish TV series? © Caramel / VK
  • I spent the entire pregnancy preparing my eldest son for the arrival of a baby in the house. The son was eagerly awaiting the birth of the little one. We brought him home from the maternity hospital, called the eldest and started introducing them.
    The son looked at him in surprise and said, “Is he always going to cry like that? If so, take him back.” © Mamdarinka / VK
  • We decided to play hairdressers with my sister, and I cut off all her curls. We knew it wasn’t good, so decided to hide the hair under the TV stand. I remember vividly how we stood there looking at the hair, and you could see it perfectly. It was basically just lying on the floor, not covered by anything.
    We were very surprised that Mom noticed it before she even entered the room. After all, it didn’t occur to us that our sister’s head would give us away more than “hidden hair.” © Urtica.urens / Pikabu
  • My brother was very fond of marshmallows as a kid. We always divided the goodies strictly equally. And so, he once again ate them all at once, and I stashed my half for later.
    And you know what he did? He took my marshmallows apart, bit out the middle and molded them back together. © Rain of Men / ADME
  • I couldn’t figure out why I kept waking up later than I should lately. I set my alarm clock for the right time, go to bed on time, but I end up waking up 10 minutes before I need to go out.
    At first, I thought I didn’t hear it, so I decided to check it. I set the alarm clock, put the phone away from the bed, so that I wouldn’t switch it off myself. And I still woke up late in the morning and the alarm clock is off. I didn’t know what to think.
    I asked my younger brother if he accidentally touched my phone. And he said to me with a calm face, “Well, yes, I turned off the alarm clock.” I’m shocked, I ask him why. And he says, “I just feel sorry for you. You always come back from work so tired, get up early, and I just wanted you to get some more sleep.”
    I didn’t know how to react. On the one hand, I had already received several reprimands from my superiors, but on the other hand, I was glad that my brother was so caring. © Caramel / VK
  • A few years ago, my sister announced that she had got married. Everyone rejoiced and congratulated her, but nobody has seen her husband since that day. She always comes to visit us alone.
    When questions arise, she answers in the standard way, “He is on a business trip,” “He is busy with work,” “He couldn’t come,” etc. In all photos, his face is either hidden by a shadow or turned to the side. He is not on social media, he hasn’t been added to family chats, his phone number is unknown to us. We started joking that she was living with Agent 007 or a ghost.
    I decided to do a little investigation: I searched his photo on the Internet, asked my acquaintances. Turned out, there was no husband. She just made him up, so that no one at the family table asked her, “When will you get married?”
    But I don’t blame her, because we have really annoying relatives. And in fact, I’m thinking about making up a wife for myself so that my relatives will stop matchmaking me with all women they know. © Chamber 6 / VK
  • My sister decided to make a cake with sweetened condensed milk. I adore it, so I was looking forward to this masterpiece.
    When it was ready, I cut off a piece for myself, put it in my mouth and was almost stunned. No, not from the deliciousness, but from the fact that it was so sweet that my mouth went numb. It turned out my sister had added sugar to the condensed milk. © Caramel / VK
  • I was watching King Kong (2005), and my sister walked in and started watching not long after the movie had started. When she asked, “Is this real?” I promptly said, “Of course it’s real, look at the detail in King Kong’s face.”
    She watched the entire movie thinking it was real and even cried when Kong died. After the movie was over, I told her, everything was computer animated. After telling her what computer animated means, she was thoroughly pissed. © Unknown author / Reddit
  • We were watching TV in our parents’ bedroom one night, and I was fooling around with the remote, and on the screen popped the letters BUY. I asked what that meant, and he told me that it allowed him to order candy and other sweets from the shops up the road so that he could go and pick them up the next day.
    I tried it myself over and over again. The shopkeeper always looked puzzled when I would walk to the counter and say, “I’m Swanronson65, here to pick up my order.” © Unknown author / Reddit
  • I’m 5 years older than my sister. My parents worked a lot, so I had to babysit her. But what’s in it for me? I want to go out with the boys, not sit with her.
    And I conceived a cunning plan: in our large vegetable garden, which was planted with potatoes, carrots and other things, I randomly buried a lot of toys. I told my sister that my parents were getting them out of the garden. She stayed in the vegetable garden all day long, looking for them, digging them up, while I was playing with the guys. © Overheard / Ideer
  • My brother was 6 years old. He was good at doing dishes, although he didn’t like it very much.
    One day I was cleaning and switched on the new vacuum cleaner. He came running at the noise and asked me to let him try vacuuming. Interesting!
    I was about to say yes. And then I had a brilliant idea. I told him, “I’ll let you vacuum if you wash all the dishes in the kitchen.” He happily ran off to do the dishes. He finished it and with the same mood started vacuuming and finished it too.
    But he didn’t like it. He never did it again. But the whole family still laughs about it to this day. © Not everyone will understand / VK
  • I noticed that when my older daughter has a fight with my younger daughter, the younger one immediately starts vacuuming. The older daughter came up to me and asked me if I knew why her younger sister was behaving this way. I said I didn’t.
    My daughter said, “I told her once inadvertently that the sound of the vacuum cleaner pisses me off. And now she ’takes revenge’ on me like that every time we have a fight.” © Mamdarinka / VK
  • One day, my parents found my then boyfriend in the wardrobe. They screamed like hell! To prevent my sister from getting into my wardrobe, I told her that boogeyman lives there.
    The other day she comes to my room, my mom and dad were sitting nearby, and my sister blurted out, “Daria, that dude from the wardrobe has already left? Can I look in there?” © Chamber 6 / VK
  • My 10-year-old son wanted a brother, not a sister. He was adamant about that. I gave birth to a son. When we returned home, I said to the elder son, “Here is your brother, as you wanted.”
    The son looked at the little face and said categorically, “He’s too small. I wanted a big brother! Why would I want a small one?” © Mamdarinka / VK
