A birthday page for your brother
Brothers tend to communicate entirely through insults and shared silence. A page lets one sincere sentence through without either of you having to acknowledge it happened.
What to put on it
Lead with the worst photo
Set the tone immediately. Whatever he would least like resurfaced — that is the opening slide.
Then hide something real in the middle
One honest line, buried between the jokes. He will notice it and say nothing about it, which is how you will know it worked.
Get the cousins and old friends in
Send round the wish link. Ten seconds each of people insulting him fondly is the highest form of affection available here.
What to write
Steal any of these, or use one as a way in and finish it yourself.
You are still taller and it is still the only thing you have on me. Happy birthday.
Genuinely, though — you turned out well, and I am glad I got you rather than anyone else.
I would take your side in almost any argument, including the ones where you are wrong.
Questions about making one for your brother
Can this be mostly a joke?
It can be almost entirely a joke. The format carries affection on its own — the fact that you built the thing at all is the sincere part, which frees the words to be as unserious as your relationship normally is.
What if he finds it embarrassing?
Nobody sees it but him and whoever you sent the link to. There is no public post, no tag and no comments — the whole thing happens on his phone.
Can the cousins and his friends pile on?
Send them the wish link. Ten seconds each of people insulting him fondly is, in most families, the highest form of affection on offer.
