Best friends are, well, the best. However, there is one qualification that separates the best friends from the best friends forever, and that is their family. Once you are an honorary member of the family, that friend just can't get rid of you anymore. You're blood now.
Here are 27 signs you are crazy close with your friend's family:
1. You know each member of the family very well, including aunts, uncles and cousins.
2. You have had a siblings fight with the brother and/or sister of the friend.
3. You are often present at family dinners.
4. You've probably seen them on holidays, too.
5. Before you could drive, you relied heavily on the friend's mom to pick you up for the movies or whatever event, and you are eternally grateful for her services.
6. You walk into the house without knocking.
7. Sometimes you arrive and the parent says, "I didn't know you were coming over," but they weren't mad about it, and should probably be used to it by now.
