National Siblings Day

It's National Siblings Day! Unfortunately I do not have any siblings but growing up with my cousins, it felt like I did. Now that we are much older and some of them have their own families; we do not see each other as much. I will never forget my older cousin trying to show me how to wash dishes, let's just say the kitchen ended up looking like a huge bubble bath- sorry mum!

Please share your stories about growing up with your siblings or children. Do they get along? Any funny stories?

You'll be pleased to know that I am now a good big brother and couldn't imagine life without my siblings

I didn't spend too much time around any of them as a child, so no particularly funny stories spring to mind. However, my other half is one of 11, so I'm always being regaled with tales from her childhood. One of the only ones I can probably repeat here is about what was affectionately called 'The Slipper Game'. This of course is where you blindfold someone and shove a slipper in their face (obviously!) They then have to guess who it belongs to based on its delightful odour. Let's just say a certain somebody's slipper made their siblings lose their lunch!
