Sibling fights are 40% drama, 40% strategy, and 20% snack-based betrayal. But let’s be honest—those ridiculous arguments are also what make siblings your forever partners in crime (and in hiding from chores). 💖

Happy National Siblings Day!
Go send your sibling a “remember when you licked the last cookie so I wouldn’t eat it” text. Or… maybe just give 'em a weirdly aggressive hug. 🤗🫨
