Some people get to pick their best friends; others are related to them. If you share closets, talk more than anyone else you know, and can’t stand to be apart, you know your sister is your best friend.
1. Family reunions and holidays are you favorite times of the year
Not only will there be free food, but you also get to see your sisters!2. You are part of the loudest family you know
No matter where you are, the noise will always follow. You talk and laugh so much when you’re together that everyone in a close vacinity can hear your conversation.
3. One of you is “the mom”
Someone has to make sure the house stays clean and you all don’t starve while your parents are gone.4. You don’t know whose clothes are whose anymore
After years of borrowing clothes and hand-me-downs, you don’t know if the shirt you’re holding belongs to you or your sister.
5. If you have older sisters, you know that hand-me-down’s are the best
You get free clothes and get to look like your cool older sister! Best day ever!
6. If you have younger sisters, you’ve been their role model since they were born
They may try to copy everything you do, but that’s only because they look up to you so much.7. You basically speak your own language
After knowing each other for 18+ years, you have so many inside jokes that no one else can understand your conversations.
8. You talk more to your family more than anyone else
Every time someone asks you who you’re on the phone with, 95 percent of the time your response is “my sister”.Â
9. You easily go from fighting to laughing so hard that you’re both crying in less than five minutes
You definitely know how to push each other’s buttons, but you also know how to make them smile. 10. Nothing is off limits
From your current crush to that embarrassing thing you did yesterday or personal problems, your sister knows it all.
11. You had sister sleepovers every weekend while growing up
Your bedrooms were only five feet apart, but that didn’t stop you from moving all your pillows and blankets into her room every Friday night. You also didn’t get any sleep because you stayed up all night talking.
12. You’re overly protective of each other
You are the real life example of the saying, “blood is thicker than water”. You always have your sister’s back and you know she’ll always have yours.13. You have enough embarrassing pictures and stories to blackmail each other forever
You may or may not show their future boyfriend all those awkward pictures from Halloween circa 1999. Only time will tell.
14. You are your sister’s biggest fan
You’ve been to all of her performances, games, and ceremonies for years. You’re proud of every one of her accomplishments and love telling people “that’s my sister”!15. You already have plans to move back in together
You may have already moved out of your parents’ house, but you desperately miss being with your best friend 24/7. You’ve already come up with a plan to move in together after you all graduate college because you can’t stand being apart any longer.
When your sisters are your best friends, you know you have an unbreakable bond and you’ll be there for each other for the rest of your lives.
