I’m a big sister with a little brother, and I could write a treatise on the subject.
- About how we
bossleadership you because we love you (and because you’re pathetic and you need us.) - About how we use words to torture you because a) words are superior weapons and do longer term damage, and b) words cause you to lash out with your fists which is how we most reliably get you into trouble.
- And about how much it sucks when you grow old enough and large enough to answer our leadershippy words by picking us up, tossing us over a shoulder, carrying us to the front lawn, dumping our asses in the grass, calmly strolling back inside, and locking us out of the house.
Instead of all of that, though, everything you need to know about big sisters and little brothers is summed up in this picture of my niece tackling her little brother to her princess bed and holding him down while she buttons up the pretty pink dress she talked him into wearing.
From big sisters everywhere – this is how much we love you, bros.
P.S. All Big Sister ideas are good ones.
P.P.S. I’m staying with my niece and nephews for the next several days while their parents are on a much-deserved, long-anticipated vacation. You can pray for the children.

Also, it’s Saturday, so it’s time for:
5 Kids Reruns
where we review what we’ve been doing this week here on the blog
and elsewhere on the world wide webs
New Posts Here on the Blog:
Practically Pinterest: New Ways to Use Golden Books. This post may or may not include shoving Golden Books in one’s pants.
On Playing Life Like a Beast. Mostly about depression… and finding thigh holes in my jeans.
Mother’s Day May Suck But It’s Not Our Fault – YAY! In which we find out Mother’s Day has been sucky for 100 years – historical FACT. FfffaaaaaaaAAACT.
That’s an awesome video. FACT.
Which reminds me of a video I made once upon a time. It’s a sex video called “If at First You Don’t Succeed,” and it’s based on a true story.
You can read the rest of the sex video story here. FACT.
Also, I’d like to apologize for the ads you’re seeing in the sidebar since I just wrote the words “sex video” three times. It’s alright. Just breathe and we’ll get through this together.
On the 5 Kids Facebook Page:
I wrote a bunch of stuff on Facebook, but this is the most important because it’s why we need a rolling eyes smiley. Seriously.
5 Kids Elsewhere on the Internets:
New Podcast on my favorite dad site, Dadsaster, called We Love Moms!
You are the driving force behind the 5 Kids blog. This space is about community; finding each other, finding ourselves, waving to each other in the dark until the dawn comes, and always – always – about Love. Stay connected. You can subscribe via RSS, Email, Facebook and Twitter.
Thank You!
Many of you have come to meet me over recent weeks at various speaking engagements. THANK YOU. I don’t know how to adequately express how much it means to me that you’d take time out of your busy schedules to say hi and spend some time with me as a tangible Village. I’m so deeply grateful for every one of you momrades. Here are a few snapshots from events this Spring:
Advertise or Donate
Advertise here on the 5 Kids blog, where I write a lot about pee, occasionally about penises, often about the magic in the mess, and sometimes about Jesus, although maybe not exactly in the way you’d expect. So far, I haven’t written one single time about pee AND penises AND Jesus, which proves I have standards, so when you purchase your ad at the 5 Kids blog, you can be confident you are placing your ad somewhere with standards. As if that’s not compelling enough, I also offer ad discounts for writers, home-based businesses and artists.
If you’d like to help with the costs of this website, you can donate toward ad scholarships. (This link explains why I don’t accept traditional donations.)
One response to “Everything You Need to Know About Big Sisters and Little Brothers”
My husband and I LOVE your sex video. We watch it often, but I always forget what the post title is, so I have to search for it. Once I actually typed “sex video” into your search bar, and as soon as I hit enter I realized what I had done… I just typed “sex video” into a search engine! oops.
I got no results.
But thank you, next time it will work.
