"If I ever hear you promise my little sister you'll treat her like a princess, you better build that fucking castle." I love this line more than words can describe.

I love how she clearly elucidates how she doesn't care about race/ethnicity, religion, or educational background, but she cares about whether your actions back up your words and claims, she cares about your character over your socially measured accomplishments/the "perfect guy" according to society.

I'm a big brother and I love this! Especially the line about fighting to earn your trust. Some people don't get that. They just see the family as the enemy. When they should realise that the family has loved the girl unconditionally all her life, and if you do the same, they will love you as well. Fight to earn their respect, prove that you are trustworthy and that you're not just trying to get laid... and in return they will help you whenever you need it. Her dad will teach you how to repair that beautiful convertible that he keeps hidden under a tarp like a precious treasure (And who knows? If it turns out his daughter is the one, that car may be the one that takes you to the place that you propose and you might even be the one driving it!), her mother will teach you how to cook something more complicated than scrambled eggs and will teach you how to make her daughter's favourite meals "Just like mom makes it", her brother will invite you to play video games with him and his mates, join you in a few rounds of horrifically sung karaoke and her sister... Well we all know what the sister will do now. Here's to the families that watch out for each other... but aren't afraid to give some people a chance to make the family... smile a little wider, the home a little warmer and the days... a little better.

My little sister is 7 years younger than me, she doesn't talk to me either because I don't talk to her either. The thing is, it doesn't mean I wouldn't like talking to her. Maybe your own big sister might want to talk to you?

As an older sister, with two younger sisters, who I am 10+ years older than, this poem made me cry. But seriously to my sisters future significant other: I was training headshots before you could walk. I was preparing the “Are you ready to date my sister” quiz before you could even speak. I decided I would protect her at all costs as soon as I saw her for the first time at the hospital. I will teach her everything. So don’t you dare hurt her.
