I always like to win. But I'm the big sister.
I want to make sure she has everything,
even if I don't have anything.
It's hard. I love her too much. That's what counts.

More than Santa Claus,
your sister knows when you've been bad and good.

Never let an angry sister comb your hair.

How do people make it through life without a sister?

A sister is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost .

 A sister is both your mirror and your opposite.

Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
