This week’s theme is “Siblings.” The DNA surprise when your family tree takes a sharp turn.
Siblings. They're our first friends, our partners in crime, our biggest rivals, and our lifelong companions. The two brothers that I grew up with, Steve and Tim, were the only siblings that I knew. They were much older than me. I was the completely annoying bratty little sister that they didn't want and didn't expect.

I was also the one that got mad because they wouldn't let me play with their amazing hot wheel tracks up and down the basement stairs and all around the basement. Boys can be so mean.
But, when in need, they both came running to help me. Once, in 9th grade, I was severely bullied by a boy that wanted me to go to a school dance with him. I just didn't want to go to the dance. I had nothing against the boy. But, he took it badly, and harrassed me, followed me everywhere, in school and out, would call me horrible names, by yelling, in front of everyone at the lockers or lunch room. The school administrator and security guard did nothing to stop it.
So, for a month straight, my brothers picked me up from school. They waited by this boy's school bus and made sure to say hello to him, every day. That was it. Just hello. The fact that they both rode their Harleys and looked like Hells Angels might have also had something to do with it.
