40 Signs You Definitely Grew Up With Brothers

I grew up and lived my whole childhood with only brothers, stuck right in between the boogers and farts. Was it a blessing or a curse? I think it was a little mix of both because you understand so many different things when you grow up surrounded by so much bro-ness. If you can relate to these 40 signs, you definitely grew up with brothers.

6. And if your brother asks to play too, his intentions are not pure…
