🧬 April 10 – National Siblings Day: Because You Can’t Choose Them… But You Can Roast Them 💥
Ah, siblings—the built-in best friends (or arch-nemeses?) you didn’t ask for but got anyway. Whether you shared bunk beds, blame, or brain cells growing up, today’s the day to celebrate those beautifully chaotic relationships that shaped you into the semi-functional adult you are now.
👶👧👦 From older brothers who played “The Floor is Lava” a little too seriously, to little sisters who always knew how to push every button you had—this is their moment in the family spotlight. So put aside the childhood trauma (temporarily), and let’s get sentimental, silly, and maybe slightly savage about our sibs.

🗞 A Brief (and Bickering) Backstory
National Siblings Day was dreamed up in 1995 by Claudia Evart, who created the holiday to honor her late brother and sister. She picked April 10 in memory of her sister Lisette’s birthday. Since then, it’s grown into a full-blown celebration of siblinghood—complete with throwback pics, emotional captions, and the occasional TikTok sibling prank gone wrong.
Fun fact: Unlike Mother’s or Father’s Day, this one isn’t yet federally recognized, but that hasn’t stopped millions from posting cringey childhood photos each year. (Don’t worry—we’ll get to that part.)
