Birthday Wishes
Birthday Wishes for Your Brother
Brothers rarely say the sincere thing out loud. Birthdays are the one day of the year when it is allowed, and even then it usually arrives disguised as a joke.
So this page has both. Real lines for when you want to mean it, and lines with enough teasing in them that neither of you has to make eye contact afterwards.
