There are best friends, and then there are best friends. You know which friend I mean- the Cristina Yang to your Meredith Grey, the Lucy to your Ethel, the Blair Waldorf to your Serena Van der Woodsen, the B. Davis to your P. Sawyer. Other people won't understand your relationship and some people may call you crazy and co-dependent. You don't mind, because you know it's true. Here are the signs that you and your best friend are those best friends:
1. You stay up until the wee hours of the morning to hear how her night went. (For the nights that you aren't glued to each other's sides.) If you haven't slept on the couch or the floor in hopes of hearing about her date, then are you really her best friend?
2. You drive her to the doctor's office when the birds aren't up yet. It's a sacrifice, but you wouldn't let anyone else take her.
3. You compose her text messages. Do you remember the last time you texted your crush without your best friend's input? That's right- the answer is never.
4. And you text her more than you text your own boyfriend. Am I supposed to say I'm sorry for that?
5. You know her whole closet by memory. I once got annoyed with my boyfriend because he couldn't tell me exactly which shirt to wear without seeing my closet. You never have that problem with your best friend.
6. And you know you never have to ask to borrow an outfit. Lesser friends may timidly ask about wearing your shirt; your best friend walks into your closet and takes the tags off your brand new dress.
7. You know which foods to never bring in her presence. If anyone even attempts to make banana bread in the house, you issue a cease and desist order.
8. And you know which foods to have waiting after a bad day. Mac and cheese is already on the stove and Swiss Cake Rolls are in the cabinet.
9. You know exactly how much money is in her bank account. If she didn't have you, she'd overdraft her account at McDonald's.
10. You can't buy anything without her input. It's so hard to find flattering light in the dressing rooms but any new article of clothing must have her stamp of approval.
11. You stalk her ex's new girlfriend just as much as she does. Your most recent instagram searches and her most recent searches are identical.
12. And you've probably had a thing with her ex's best friends. It just happens, okay?
13. You say the exact same thing at the exact same time. If there was ever proof for ESP, it's you and your bestie.
14. And you answer questions directed at her. You're just as likely to know every minute detail of her schedule as she is.
15. You get in fights about the stupidest things. Eating the last Reese's or arguing about how to give directions is a perfectly good reason to get angry.
16. And you wouldn't pick anyone else to be your other half. Hope your husband is okay with a perpetual 3rd wheel ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
