Rule #6 to Surviving Sisterhood


Rule #6 to Surviving Sisterhood is never sing around your sister. One time I walked into the house singing (I say one time because I never made that mistake again). Immediately my sister ran into the room and began both singing and dancing. The singing was horrible, the dancing was even worse. Eventually my brothers came in and joined the party. It went on forever. Never again did I make the mistake of walking in the door singing.

Joke About Sisters

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch. Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble. In order to keep the bank from repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock. The brunette balances their checkbook, then takes their last $600 dollars out west to another ranch where a man has a prize bull for sale. 
Upon leaving, she tells her sister, "When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it 
home." 
The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she does want to buy it. The man tells her that he can sell it for $599, no less. After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news. 
She walks into the telegraph office, and says, "I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch. I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home." The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, "It's just 99 cents a word."
Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette only has $1 left. She realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word. After thinking for a few minutes, she nods, and says, "I want you to send her the word, 'comfortable.'"
The telegraph operator shakes his head. "How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her the word, 'comfortable'?" The brunette explains, "My sister's blonde."
"She'll read it very slow."

Rule #3 to Surviving Sisterhood


Rule #3 to surviving sisterhood is when you find out your brother or sister is doing something that they should not be doing do not reveal said information until it is beneficial to you. For instance my mom bought a 48 pack of cookie dough and left it in the freezer out in our garage. Every day when we get home from school my sister pulls in her car the eats some cookie dough. It has been 2 or 3 weeks now and all the cookie dough is gone. The cookie dough was bought as part of a fundraiser so it was rather expensive. My mom still doesn’t know yet because I am waiting for the perfect moment to divulge this information. When is the right time to reveal you siblings secret you ask? Whenever necessary. But the rule of thumb is whatever you have on your sibling must be worse than what they have on you. Say I was failing a class and my sister knew, well if I said she ate all the cookie dough she would most likely tell my parents that I was failing a class. Failing a class is much worse than eating cookie dough so I would end up being the one in trouble not her. Now say all I did was drink a glass of soda when I wasn’t supposed to, eating $40 worth of cookie dough is much worse so she would get in trouble and my misdemeanor would get overlooked.

Joke About Sisters

Alfie was listening to his sister practice her singing. ' Sis,' he said, 'I wish you'd sing Christmas carols.'
 'That's nice of you, Alfie,' she replied. 'Why ?'
'Then I'd only have to hear you once a year !'
