Here is a heartwarming video clip of family life with sisters. (Real life, not scripted.) It starts with a 14 year old girl, preparing a tik-tok video for her followers, (sitting in front of a mirror, showing how to apply makeup). The camera starts filming… And then she gets interrupted by a younger sister. and then another younger sis and then another. and then the youngest , (who threatens to tell mom on them, so they all grab her and bribe her with a cookie.) And in the end, big sister has saved the day!. Tragedy is averted. Cute faces abound A genuine family in action, with all the ingredients:. There’s sibling rivalry, a scream of terror, a suspicious mother,…and a whole lotta love. The video lasts 5 minutes, but you’ll wish it was longer…It starts off kind of cute, and gets better and better… It’s posted in a reddit forum called MadeMeSmile. And you will.

I would trade both my sons, my wife, and one of my dogs for just one daughter. Girls are so adorable. Boys are noisy, violent, and smelly. ---

Oh, there’s an episode of _Malcolm in the Middle_ you definitely need to see. Here’s a clip: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/gRBdaqPGf-U/maxresdefault.jpg "If Your SONS Were DAUGHTERS | Malcolm in the Middle") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRBdaqPGf-U) 😉 ---

That was definitely cute. Makes you see the appeal of having more than one kid (not gonna happen, but fun to imagine.) I liked how older sis genuinely cared about her sister’s plight. ---

That was great! It reminds me of me and my 3 younger sisters. Lots of screaming, tattling, secret stuff, and most of all fun and love!
