My best friend and I have been inseparable since 4th grade. When we first met in dance class the year before, she thought I was weird (she wasn't wrong) and kept a fair distance. Eventually, she gave in to my weirdness and that was that.
The course of our friendship has covered a lot of changes: puberty, braces, high school, driving, jobs, graduating, starting college, etc. It's only natural that throughout these changes we've relied on each other to help us answer some pretty big questions, almost none of which seem to have made it onto this list... Whoops.
No matter how long you and your closest pal have known each other, odds are you've turned to them at one point or another for advice or just to ask the question that is too stupid for anyone else to hear. And hopefully, like me, you know your best friend is always there to answer your questions--from deep to dumb to everything in between.
1. Is 9 am too early to eat mozzarella sticks?
Sometimes you just need your questionable life choices to be validated.
2. What do you think this text means?
When you need someone to critically analyze the meaning of that text and tell you if you're crazy.
3. Should I get a tattoo?
When you can't decide if what you want is what you want.
4. How do I talk to humans?
Trying to avoid being an awkward human being and figure out how to socialize.
5. Why am I friends with you?
When your bestie is being just a little too much for one day.
6. Is my obsession with my celebrity crush getting out of hand?
The only correct answer is no, but yet you still ask it.
7. Am I being sassy or just mean?
When you're trying to balance wit and just bein' rude. (It's a fine line, friends.)
8. Are you posting that picture or am I?
That awkward moment after a hangout when you have to determine who gets to post on Instagram.
9. Do you mean Grandma Elaine or Grandma Doris?
When you know their family so well you ask which grandma their "grandma story" is about.
10. Do you remember that one person I had a crush on for a week like three years ago?
This is both ridiculously vague and oddly specific; what's even crazier is the answer is probably yes.
11. What's the hot gossip?
When you haven't seen each other in a while and need to catch up--both on each others' lives and all the drama you've heard about.
12. Who would play us if our lives were a movie?
There isn't really an explanation for this question; we just really love Tina and Amy.
13. Is this confusing or am I stupid?
When your brain isn't functioning, and you're hoping it's not you.
14. Is night one giant shadow...?
When very late night conversations lead to trippy realizations.
15. Who do I have to kill?
That moment when your friend is upset and you go into mama bear mode.
16. What would I do without you?
When you realize just how blessed you are to have this goofy human in your life (and you turn into a giant sap).
