Being a big sister is the best job in the world. Having a little brother idolize you and copy your every move is very flattering, but it comes with awesome responsibilities.
You have to teach them how to properly eat the chocolate chips while baking cookies with Mom, then demonstrate Chocolate Face for the camera.
You have to show them how to face their fears with courage,
but also let them know it's okay to be scared of a little wave sometimes.
You have to be willing to share your toys with them, even when they pretend that toy is a blood thirsty shark that viciously attacks all of the stuffed animals.
You have to realize that sometimes hugs must be stolen from them when they aren't looking. Because usually an attempt at a hug is translated as an invitation to play the Wrestling Game.
If you can master all of this, the payoff is totally worth it.
Because, at the end of the day there is this little person who loves you more than anybody else, and wants to be just like you.
