Part of it, I think is the age gap. My sister is 12 years older than I am. So back when my BIL and my sister began dating in med school, my sister was 24 and I was 11 going on 12. That sort of tends to set a tone for a realtionship. I'm the "wacky kid sister" to him. In fact, it sort of struck me the other day that the age gap between myself and my oldest nephew isn't MUCH larger than the age gap between my sister and myself. 16 years versus 12 years.
