From sharing the details about their first kiss to having an incredible dance routine, Monica and Ross Geller from the most epic sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S have set the bar for awesome brother-sister relationships way too high.
A blend of love and sibling jealousy with an urge to irritate each other to the deepest core of existence is what defines the relation best.
This Raksha Bandhan, we bring you the list of 6 lessons that the brother-sister duo has taught us amidst the years of laughter and tears.
It’s okay to make fun of each other
If not for the silly jokes our siblings crack, our life would have been a glass of plain milk without any added flavor. Times when Ross made fun of Monica’s weight or Monica took digs at Ross for his unsuccessful marriages, behind our stomach aching laughter there were days when we said, “OH MY GOD, THAT’S SO US!”
Brothers will always be BROTHERS
Ross, Monica’s brother who was just one year elder to her didn’t fail to act like a perfect paranoid when it came to who his sister was dating even when it was his own best friend. Not to forget he crossed the line and offered a pep talk to Chandler too. Oh Chandler, we feel you.
Siblings who wrestle together, stay together
Our childhood is obviously incomplete if we don’t take enough pleasure in fighting with our siblings. And for some of us, even our adulthood is bland if we don’t wrestle with our brothers and sisters. Thanks to the Gellers, wrestling just got a totally new dimension.
Siblings who dance together, stay together
Imagine the intensity of fun if you and your sibling had a special dance routine that only you both knew how to do. No, not as special as the Gellers had, but definitely something that is worthy enough to compete with their routine.
Spilling the beans once in a while is okay
Its good to keep secrets but its not that bad to let the secrets out once in a while. No matter how much we love our siblings, we do have a tendency to reveal their secrets to our parents. And more often that not, it does provide us with a moment to be laughed on at later stages.
Sibling-cum-Bestfriend is not just a myth
Ross and Monica provide a perfect exception to the myth that one cannot find a best friend in their sibling particularly when they are of opposite sex. From keeping each other’s secrets to listening about each other’s sex lives, they have broken all the conventional boundaries of a brother-sister relationship.
If you still haven’t realized how lucky you’re to have a sibling who has your back at every step you take and to cover every mistake you make, you better read the post again.
Seize this Raksha Bandhan and tell your brother/sister how blessed you’re to have them laughing with you and at times at you, every now and then.
