45 Hilarious Pictures That Perfectly Illustrate What Having Siblings Is Like

Anyone who has grown up with siblings will tell you that it can be the best – but it can also be the worst.

Then I sent him home with his dad, since he smelled like a giant fish.”

#43 The Mummy

Image source: Meredith

“This is a photo of my younger sister, (mummified), my older brother, (proud as ever), and me (“I didn’t do it”). My favorite part of this picture is how, even though you can’t see my little sister’s face, you can tell she is smiling in a very “TA-DA!” way, and I can only imagine how proud she was to be our model. I don’t remember when this was taken, but I can look at the craftsmanship in the placement of the streamers, and the excellent color blocking techniques, and I know that’s my fabulous work – my brother must have been the project manager/supervisor. My siblings and I have talked about recreating this picture for our mom now that we are all in our 20’s, but it has been really hard to drum up this collection of oddly specific t-shirts.”
