  1. Remind your younger sibling that you’re older, smarter, and wiser—but don’t be too controlling to avoid crossing her boundaries (remember, you’re not her mom). By focusing on the fact that you were born first, you highlight your age difference in a fun and playful manner. [2]
    • “Again, who was born first?”
    • “Because of you, I never want kids👀👶🙅‍♀️😂”
    • “I’m the reason you were born, and you’re the reason mom and dad decided to stop having kids.”

  1. If your sister is being annoying , be direct and hint that you need some space. Just be sure to deliver your line with a smile, laugh, or friendly expression to make it obvious you’re teasing her. Or, follow up with a “still love you though” to avoid hurting her feelings. [4]
    • “You bring me so much joy…when you leave the room.”
    • "You’re like a cloud. When you disappear, it’s a beautiful day.”
    • “I get so emotional when you’re not around. It’s called happiness.”

    • “You’re the type of person to measure your sleep with a ruler.”
    • “You’re the type of person to wash their hands after a shower.”

    • “Hey, I found your nose. It was in my business👃”
    • “Maybe you should get a life instead of being all up in mine😈”
    • “Did I invite you to my BBQ? Then why are you all up in my grill?”

      Tips

      • Focus on small quirks and habits that your sister chooses to do, instead of things she can’t change about herself. As a general rule, avoid talking about her weight, relationship status, embarrassing moments, or major insecurities. [13]
      • If you have more than one sister, be sure to spread your jokes around to maintain a good relationship. If you only tease one sister, it could unintentionally hurt her feelings and make her feel singled out. [14]
      • Try to deliver your lines in a friendly and lighthearted way. A smile, giggle, or squeeze on the shoulder can reassure your sister that you’re just teasing her, or you can throw out a “just kidding” if you think you might have offended her.
