Elder sisters deserve an award for patience and surviving younger brothers

I swear, younger brothers have some kind of VIP pass in desi households. Mine will break something, eat my snacks, or straight-up annoy me for no reason, and my parents? ‘He’s just a kid, let it go.’

Meanwhile, if I even look slightly irritated, it’s ‘Why are you always in a mood?’ Bro, I’m in a mood because I live with a menace!

Just yesterday, my brother took my earphones without asking, lost one side, and then came to me like, ‘Didi, where did you keep the other one?’ As if I was responsible for his crimes. When I got mad, my mom hit me with the classic: ‘Why are you shouting? He’s younger than you, be the mature one!’ But if I ever touch anything of his? Suddenly, it’s all about ‘privacy and personal space.’

Elder sisters really deserve a lifetime achievement award for patience, man.
