To Whoever Dates My Baby Sister
To whoever dates my baby sister
I have been waiting for you
My sister is a diamond among pebbles
She's kind
She’s smart
She is a billion times more then you will ever
EVER
know
She is so so easy to love
So
When you fall in love with her
Please know
I am watching you
I do not trust you
I am crazy enough to kill you
So tell me your name
I’ll remember it
and I swear if it is a name that my sister bawls into my shoulder
watch your back
Answer my questions with some confidence
because I have many of them
and be forewarned that I will mentally take off points for grammatical errors
and don’t lie to me
Do not tell me you want to be a doctor
when from the whites
I mean reds
of your eyes I can tell you’d rather study herbology
When I ask you what you do
BOAST
Be proud of yourself
So that you can be proud of her too
Be passionate
I’m not saying to sarante her song of your undying love
or to show up late at night in the pouring rain with roses
In fact please don’t show up late at night in the pouring rain with roses
Our Dad really doesn’t like nighttime visitors
What I mean is defend her should she ever need defending
Listen to her when she speaks
Take her on the ride of her life
but make sure she wears her seatbelt
and have her home five minutes early
Be the reason she smiles randomly throughout the day
Be the stories she tells to her friend at night
But don’t you ever lay a hand on her
Because she's been taught to find the heaviest object she can swing and come after you with it
Realize that she absolutely
POSITIVELY
DOES NOT
NEED you to live
But if you make her happy then stick around
Tell her how much she means to you everyday
and make sure she feels special
Be gentle with her
but don’t treat her like glass
Because glass is sharp and you could get cut
Respect her
Give her space
And if I ever hear you promise you’ll treat my little sister like a princess
Then you better build her a fucking castle
