You may think siblings are horrible because of TV shows such as Jessi. Jessi is a  Disney Channel show where the kids fight a lot. An example from Jessi is the kids, Luke, Zuri, Ravi, and Emma were all hitting each other and yelling when Jessi, the nanny, came home. TV shows tend to make the kids fight a lot and not get along, But that is not always true and I will show you why.

My siblings make things fun. My sister makes time for me. She usually finishes her homework fast so we can play anything we want. We like to play card games such as Gin Rummy and War. My brother is very into basketball and so am I, so we play in the backyard. Once it was getting dark and we were playing to 100 and he was beating me by like 50 and he drove right past me and won.

If siblings don’t want to do anything with you, you can annoy them and that is fun! Yes, your siblings can be annoying to you but you can just ignore them. It’s not fun to annoy someone if they’re not annoyed so they will probably stop. One example of being annoying is when Kate was in her room on her I-Pad and I asked her if she wanted to play a game. She said no, so I stayed in her room. This caused her to start yelling and screaming at me. As I was saying, siblings are fun.

Scientists at Concordia University did a study including 39 families with multiple kids. It showed that younger siblings ask their older siblings a lot of questions. Howe, a scientist, said that having a sibling is good for you and that you learn more when you have siblings. Similarly, my siblings teach me a bunch of stuff. My brother taught me a lot of basketball and if he didn’t I wouldn’t be as good at basketball as I am now. He taught me how to shoot correctly when I was seven. He also taught me how to do behind-the-back-and-through-the-legs. He was helping me with my right-handed layups, but now I can practice that on them my own. He also taught me not to shoot with my left hand on the right side so now I just practice with my right hand. Recently I showed him my right-handed layup and he actually smiled at me! My sibling also taught me math and big words. One word is cacophony, meaning, a really loud, annoying sound, A.K.A. my sister! My sister taught me how to make a beautiful gingerbread house because I used to put all the candy on the gingerbread  house and it did not turn out well. So, she told me and showed me that it doesn’t look good if you stuff it all on.

My siblings and I motivate, energize and remind each other and it is very helpful.

I motivate people getting into the holiday spirit! We need each other to go to the grocery store and get this or that or remind each other what is for dinner. It doesn’t need to be big, it can be small. If we don’t motivate and energize each other to do anything we will never get anything done. I motivated my family this winter when I said, “We need to get a christmas tree!” We set off in an adventure to get a tree, A.K.A. down the street to the christmas tree store. My sister reminds me to do my homework when I forget about it. It used to be habit for Kate to remind me in a sort’ve rude way like yelling at me, but things have improved.  Lastly, my brother is not motivated to motivate people except when we are in a hurry and we are going to be late, so he is not in this paragraph, but as you can see we like to motivate each other.

Well, you might be thinking, “I hate my sister or brother,” but you can fix that. Ask them to play a game and see how that goes. Try to ask them what they want to do. Even if you have hated them for your whole life, well,  it doesn’t have to stay like that. Don’t be afraid to not hate them! When you grow up you want a good relationship with your siblings. With a perspective I’m Bennett.
