One's relationship with a sibling is usually fraught. While we may well love a sibling very much at some level, we may quite possibly hate their guts at the same time. Siblings can be annoying but they can be supportive in times of need as well. This Twitter user shared an exchange she had with her sibling and many other tweeple identified with it.
She left a note asking to be woken up but her sibling didn’t think very highly of the suggestion. Are you in some English film, asked the reply note. And how do you expect me to wake you when I am barely awake while leaving for school, said the reply.
In one reply, a commentator spoke about a sibling rule of their own – a knocking code to decide whether to enter or to go away.
Sometimes, it’s like that with a sibling. They will find a way to blame you no matter what you do. Or don’t do.
We’ve all made fun of a sibling for using a big or incomprehensible word – or had a sibling /cousin to that to us.
This is how everyone does it now, right? Who uses Post-Its when there are messaging apps, asked some.
Sticky notes can get lost, tear or be destroyed. A text message with double blue ticks is better, and undeniable evidence of communications exchanged between siblings.
Many other tweeple identified with this exchange and sympathised – probably because they had been through a similar exchange with a sibling as well.
…It is the special pain of a middle child.
Most people just thought that the sibling exchange was hilarious.
The siblings Post-It messages are funny – precisely because they are so relatable!
