Heidee's Humorous History: {Big Brother}

I have spent a lot of time today at the Hospital waiting for my cute little niece to be born. My Brother is awesome and got married three or so years ago.
When I found out that he and his wife we expecting, I was so happy for them. It was so awesome to see how excited they were and they will be the best parents!!
But I was also a little sad because I knew that things would be different now. He is going to be raising his little family. Which is totally awesome. But still hard for the little sister to grasp.

Because of all of this going on, I was thinking about the BuzzFeed post that talks about the 10 Reasons why having a little brother is the greatest. This got me thinking. Why isn't there a post going around about big brothers? Is having a big brother such a terrible thing? There may be times when you want to wring his neck, but I think having a big brother is awesome.

Here are my

10 Reasons Why Having a Big Brother is the Greatest!

1-He Got Blamed For All The Bad Stuff You Did As A Kid

It's Sad, but it's True. When we were little, Bradon Convinced me to call 911 and tell them that Ed's Mailbox was on fire. Which I did. and then of course they called back and talked to my dad, and Bradon got in trouble for it. Haha. Pretty much any less than idea thing that happened as us kids, me and him were involved in together. Including the time we were throwing waffle blocks at each other, both of us having fun, and then Bradon gave me a bloody nose and got in trouble for it. Haha.

2-He Looks Out For You

I'm pretty sure that it was a blessing in disguise that Bradon was on his mission while I was going to High School, I'm positive that he would be all up in the face of any date that I went on and would have been overly cautious. Which isn't a bad thing. I know that he just wants to have a happy little sister and he will be the one to answer to if I ever shed a tear.

3-You Get To Watch Him Grow Up To Be An Awesome Person

Bradon was always the big brother (obviously) so I got to see him graduate high school, go on a mission, get married, and now have a kid. I aspire to be like him. If I had been older, I think I would be so focused with my own stuff that I might not notice his. Him being older is the best because he will be protective, but not overshadow me.

4-He Tells You How It Is

He's not afraid to tell me that I'm wrong and then explain why. He isn't afraid to say if an outfit is questionable. He also isn't afraid to say that I look nice or that He likes my jewelry. He says it how it is, like any best friend should.

5-He Loves You

He's the big brother, he is the ultimate protector because he Loves you. Bradon doesn't have to come right out and say it for me to know. But it's an awesome thing to know.

6-He'll Tell You Why You Should Get Over A Guy

He may have already killed the guy, but he will tell you all the reasons why a guy isn't good enough for you and that it's really for the best that you didn't end up together with him.

7-He Invites You To Do Stuff With Him

Even though our interests may be different, he still invites me to go places with him and spend time with him. It's nice to know that he isn't "too cool" to hang out with his little sis.

8-He Teaches You Manly Stuff

There are countless times where he has taught me to play the guitar, or a Red Hot Chili Pepper's bass guitar part. He'll teach you how to do the things that he does so you can spend more time together. He'll even ask you to teach him some of your hobbies.

9-He Is Kind and Compassionate

Even though he has to put on the man suit, he is really just a kind guy that wants to best for you. Bradon always asks me the right questions because he cares to see me happy. He'll be the first to throw a basketball and invite me to play Horse. It's the little things that show his kind heart.

10-He'll Always Be There For You

At the end of the day, I know that I could always ask Bradon anything. Irregardless of the subject. He's always there to lend an ear or an advice or two. He'll keep secrets, he'll give hugs, he'll do all the stuff that a big brother shouldn't do, but does because he cares and loves you.
