what do you do when your brother comes home and you havent seen him in like 6months and you really like him but he still treats you like a nine year old. im 13 and hes 21 and he makes me feal like i am 9 thats the year he left to go to the army hes been to iraq and hescomming home at 9 tonight and i haven seen him at christmas time in like 3 years. how do you tell him that you arent nine anymore.

Well, maybe I'm being stupid, but why not just say (politely), "I'm not nine, any more." I would think that and being a lot taller would mostly help him figure it out.

I'd say just enjoy having him around. He probably has a lot of other stuff he also has to get used to while he's home, and your being older is one of them.
