Siblings: you either love them or hate them.

Growing up with siblings was like no other experience. They can be the toughest and they build your character. Or they can be the sweetest and they still build your character.

The sibling relationship is a relationship that’s very hard to explain. How, you mean.

Well, just take a look at these sibling tweets and see if you can get it after reading one or two or all of them.

1. Oh, Tyler

This was an argument Tyler was not going to win. Sam has officially outsmarted him. We wonder if Tyler has figured out what happened.

2. They have the key

They have the key to your anger. And you will never have access to that key.

3. Yes, it is

Don’t believe for a second that that team-up ends when siblings become adults or get married. That bond is forever. And even at 50-something, they can still get a proper whooping from their 80-plus year-old mother.

4. Bad lighting

Whoever thought of placing the bathroom light switch outside the bathroom clearly didn’t have any siblings. Everyone who has a sibling knows that’s a bad idea.

5. Where’s the logic?

Sibling relationships are not rational and logical. They’re always weird. They can never be explained.

6. Why?

It’s hard to trust your own sibling. You know them too well to believe an innocent request is actually innocent. There’s no such thing as innocent with siblings.

7. What’s it like having a sister?

Only people who have brothers or an only child will ask this. What’s it like? This is what it’s like.

8. It’s quite obvious who’s who

It’s really obvious if you’ve lived a certain life and if you’ve lived a different life than others. Good for you if you haven’t chased around with a knife.

9. Don’t tell

Sometimes, it’s nice to share secrets with your mom and not tell your siblings. You have this information that you can laugh about in private.

10. It builds grit

That destructive relationship, that’s gonna shape who you’ll eventually grow up to be. Don’t believe it? Then have someone pose as your sibling and have them chase you around the house with a knife. See how you feel afterwards.

11. The favorite child

Your parents will always have a favorite child. They won’t say it but they do. And it’s almost 100% not going to be you.

12. Equal ratio

When you’re sharing with your sibling, it has to be equal, all the time. Good thing you and your sibling both have a keen eye for measuring. You both want it to be accurate, after all.

Okay, that is some amazing sibling magic over there. Either he loves his sister THAT much. Or he’s scared of his sister THATMUCH.

14. First dibs

It’s either you get to the food first or you don’t get any of it at all. It’s just common sense, right? Go first!

No need for such a big amount. Just feed him.

16. It’s a race

And this becomes a race to the finish if both of you need to use the bathroom. One bathroom downstairs, one upstairs. Who’s going to use up an extra minute going up the stairs? It’s a race to the downstairs finish line!

17. Spot the difference

Which one has less juice? Which one has more boba? Is it equal? Let me double check. *sips drink* Now, it’s equal.

18. It’s like no time has passed

That’s how strong the sibling bond is. Even though a long time has passed, you still think of your sibling. And you care enough to send a photo. Awww…

19. I’m first!

Yes, it’s obvious who always goes first. You don’t see it? You didn’t grow up with it then.

20. Burn!

Do you know who the meanest trash talkers are? It’s your siblings. But to be fair, they deliver the meanest trash talk to people who bully their siblings, too.

22. That killer smile

That killer smile can get you into trouble. So hide those pearly whites and just sneak out. But, of course, your mom can hear you sneaking out and then you’ll still get into trouble.

23. Training for track

It’s double training. You’re training to beat the escape room. And at the same time, you’re training for track. Double win!

Define half. Did you define what half means? You can’t trust how they define it.

Who knew there was a person behind that ugly, annoying sibling? They’re still annoying but you can talk about deep stuff now. This must be what growing up feels like.

There’s no way you’re going to do that. There’s absolutely no way you’re turn this off. Over my dead body!

27. The youngest gets all the fun

By the time the youngest arrives, the parents are tired. Besides, they don’t need to do anything. The older kids will give the youngest hell to pay.

But you gotta thank that dramatic sibling. They always got you out of trouble and got you that difficult permission. Balance.

32. Was it his breathing?

Yes, yes, it was. Or maybe the squeak of his shoes. Or maybe it’s his presence.

33. The things you gotta do

The things you gotta do for your siblings. It’s missing a little gratitude. And it took so much from you not to transfer the dead spider from slipper to sister.

34. Killing me softly

The irony of having a brother. They’re so annoying and you want them gone. But you want to protect them, too. So which is it?

There’s no proof whose hand that was. So yeah, innocent until proven guilty.

Very true. And very wrong. But still very true.
