15 Things You'll Only Understand If You Grew Up With Siblings

Pitchfork / Anne Elliott

Before we begin this list, we have to listen to our "sibling" anthem song:

While it may have come out in the year 2000, we've definitely said something along those lines to our siblings before the song was released.

Anyway, now that we've gotten that out of the way, we're ready to warp back to a time when EVERY SINGLE THING was a competition.

Here are 15 memories that only make sense if you grew up with siblings.

15. There was no way you and your sibling could go up or down the stairs together in peace. It seemed like every time was a race to the bottom or top, and that race usually involved tripping or pulling someone to get there first.

14. You always pointed out an unattractive-looking person in a magazine, photo, or TV show and compared it to your sibling.

13. You absolutely hate when someone says you look like your sibling. You'll probably say something like "no we can't be, because he/she is probably adopted."

12. You never trusted your sibling.

They would never be nice to you for no reason.

11. You and your siblings are the queen or king of exaggeration.

"You NEVER wash the dishes."

"You NEVER clean the litter box."

10. You'd never go to your room when your parents were arguing. You and your siblings would either be eavesdropping on the stairs or behind closed doors.

9. You struggled to have a serious conversation with your sibling because it usually ended up with you being made fun of.

8. You know you've had enough of your sibling when the last thing you say is "don't breathe my air."

7. Whispering curse words in your siblings ear so your parents won't hear.

6. If your sibling touched something that belonged to you, it was game over.

5. TV time was stressful.

You know what's going on...

4. There's no greater feeling than when your sibling messes up a task and you do it right.

3. Beating each other up was the only way to "solve" an issue.

Don't lie, it usually ended with a headlock.

2. If you hit your sibling hard enough, they'd start to cry, so you had to offer them a free punch so that they wouldn't tell mom or dad.

1. No one, and I mean NO ONE, could talk smack about your sibling. That was your job.

Share this story with your sibling(s) so you can have a good laugh now!

The Evolution of the NFL

The NFL may be the single biggest sports league in the world, but it’s been a long and winding route to reach this point.

For example, while there are now 32 teams split between the National Football League and the American Football Conference, this division dates back to merger that occurred in 1970 between the NFL and its rival the American Football League.

Fashion Experts Are Trying To Trick Us Into Wearing Flared Jeans Again And We Aren't Having It

Listen, I know fashion is cyclical. I know that things are going to go in and out of style, but here's the thing, not everything should. Fashion is also highly subjective. We all have our own opinions, but when the fashion magazines start telling us "this is what is in style" we all second guess our choices. Now, these experts are telling us to dust off our old flared jeans and honestly, I don't understand why. I know that flared jeans were huge in the disco-era, and I know this because when they came back in the late 90s and
