We had to do lots of difficult things, you know, organising.

2:14

We were,

2:16

yeah, together against the world

2:18

so we became close.

2:19

How about you? Are you close with your sister?

2:22

I think when we're together, we get on well.

2:25

But then we can go a long period of time where we don't really talk,

2:29

and that's... and that's OK.

2:30

It's life.

2:32

So you have a sister and you get on well.

2:34

But do you wish that you had more siblings.

2:39

Yes, I wish I had a brother.

2:42

It might sound strange,

2:43

but I've always wanted to know what a boy in my family would look like.

2:49

Yeah, it might change the dynamic a little bit, though. What about you?

2:53

3:03

3:11

But it's funny because the stereotype of older siblings is usually

3:16

that they are more responsible and sensible because they had, you know,

3:23

the more rules growing up.
