Perks of Having a Younger Brother

My younger brother is 12 years younger than me. I would say that I am not that happy when I found out that my sibling will be a boy because I was rooting for a girl but he does makes me happy, except when we fight I guess.

First of all, this is my first time in here and I’m actually liking it. I’m not an experienced blogger or writer or something but I am willing to learn as long as it adds something to my knowledge, skills and of course, my wallet.

Let me tell you about the things I encounter having a younger brother. By the way, he is the exact opposite of me. Not by gender, but the way he acts, behaves and socialize. I don’t know if it is because he is still a little boy or I’m just not used to his kind.

First and foremost, the behavior of him is totally different from me. I’m the kind of person that doesn’t really talk to you, unless you talk to me. By the looks of it, he is really talkative. Not just talking because you’re talking to him. He will talk and talk about something every time. But maybe it is because as a kid, he likes to learn things. He asks about anything and everything that gives him curiosity. Maybe for me, it is kind of annoying sometimes but he’s cute so it’s okay.

Second, he’s very good at learning. English is not our first language but for him, it is. From the beginning, he doesn’t talk that much but when he started watching cartoons and Disney shows, his English sounds like he’s Caucasian with a British accent. Maybe if I learned during childhood the English language, I would be more better. Well, I guess so. But the fact that he likes and speaks English more than our native language, gets it difficult for us, his family. Asking things about this and that is not easy to deal with. Sometimes there are words that are not familiar to me so explaining it to him is a whole different level.

Lastly, I love the fact that he is younger than me. The fights and rants are not that big of a problem. Maybe for some but for me, I guess it’s just all about that our behavior doesn’t really meet the elevator. But it’s fine and we are good about it.
