things only siblings will understand
I miss my brothers who are having the time of their life in college, so here’s a list of canon events on siblings will relate to:
laughing so hard in public you can’t breathe and your parents are two seconds away from disowning you both
accidentally hurting them too much and desperately going “shh shh shh PLEASE don’t cry i’m sorry i’m sorry”
everything is absolutely fine until someone goes “MUMMAAAAAA” and suddenly you’re both on trial
making maggi at midnight like two little criminals who definitely should be asleep
going on a “quick walk” that has no end time until mummy’s voice echoes through the entire neighborhood
saying “no i’m not doing that” and then doing it anyway within five minutes
the khi khi under the blanket at 1am when literally nothing is funny but everything is funny
horror stories after lights out. the one who started it is always the most scared.
your parents say something absolutely unhinged and you find each other across the room with just your eyes
covering for each other so seamlessly you could pass a lie detector test
having a whole entire argument and then sharing a plate of food ten minutes later like nothing happened
Suddenly you are the most unaware person in the world when your parents ask about your sibling.
knowing exactly how slowly you have to close the door to avoid making noise
Sneaking into the kitchen at night
Exposing each other’s most embarrassing stories in front of strangers
one of you starts crying and somehow you’re both crying
repeating the same inside joke for seven years and it still hits the same
the look you give each other before doing something dumb, but doing it anyway
pretending to study when one of you is in trouble so you don’t get dragged into it
going through old family photos together and absolutely roasting everyone including yourselves
“don’t tell mumma papa” before spilling PIPING hot tea
borrowing clothes without asking, because you know if you’ve worn it once, it is now dirty and they will never take it back.
the specific way you call their name when you want something versus when something is genuinely wrong and they always know the difference.
sitting in total silence in the same room and it being the most comfortable silence in the world
getting competitive over the most pointless things like who can fold a blanket faster
defending each other to the death in front of outsiders even if you were literally just fighting an hour ago.
Quickly hiding your phone the moment you hear a parent’s footsteps coming down the hall.
Hiding in your room when guests are over, but smuggling snacks from the kitchen at the same time.
growing up and realising your elder sibling is not cool at all and is actually the dumbest person you know.
hiding behind doors to scare each other
“Did you take my phone?” “No I didn’t”, and ten minutes later the phone is found under his ass.
one of you learns a new word or phrase and both of you are using it by the end of the day
finishing your own food quickly and then asking the other to share
“Mumma is calling you”, “No, mumma is calling YOU” goooooooo
the way neither of you can stay properly angry at the other for more than a day because something always comes up that you desperately need to tell them
“How do I look?”, “You look ugly”
:)
Also sitting in the same room and just using phones without talking to each other.
Ok so in the context of last one whenever my younger brother says I'm looking ugly that means I'm looking good and the moment he says ok ok lag rahi ho I know something is wrong with my outfit or looks or he must have banged his head somewhere, earlier it was for teasing and all now this has become a legit thing between us
