having a sibling who is just so much younger than you is so weird. cause it’s like yeah, i’ll help you with the buttons, i’ll braid your hair, you can crawl into my bed after you have a nightmare, i’ll give you my last square of chocolate, i’ll pick you up from school, i’ll read you my favourite book, i’ll beat that boss in your video game that you have a hard time getting past, i don’t shout at you for singing that same disney song on loop for months. it’s don’t tell mom or dad about this, i’ll rip your bandaid off for you, i’ll put a bandaid on your knee, i’ll disinfect your cut, i’ll run a bath for you.
but also i’ll lick your ice-cream before i give it to you, i’ll give you the smaller piece, don’t touch my stuff, don’t go into my room, i’ll tell you lies that i think are harmless and funny, no you can’t go to the pub with me, no you can’t stay overnight in my dorm room, because i said so, because it’s against the rules, if i could take you to college with me i would, don’t look at me like that, im trying to study will you keep it down and i just don’t know what to do.
