If we’re going to be friends there are a few things I’m going to need from you…
(in no particular order)
1. Your house is not allowed to be cleaner than mine
2. If you have 4 kids and are a size 2 and manage to get your hair and makeup done every day, it’s not going to work out between us.
3. You should be able to finish this line, “Whatever happened to predictability?…”
4. Those born later than 1990 need not apply.
5. Be able to tell me with a straight face when my boobs are leaking.
6. Fell free to discipline my kids in front of me (not physically, obviously, but they need reminders about manners and respect come from people besides just their mother) However, if we are not BFFs back off.
7. You must genininely like my husband and my kids
8. I’m probably going to say or do weird things that make you feel awkward (I like to think I’m kind of like Ethel Mertz meets Zooey Deschanel-only way less talented and fashion forward than Ms.Deschanel)
9. Speaking of Zooey Deschanel, you have to watch New Girl. And Big Bang Theory.
10. I have a zero tolerance policy for racism, sexism, homophobia, and stupidity of any kind.
What requirements do you have in a bestie?
besties seem very hard to come by for me so i haven’t quite developed as much criteria! definitely be trustworthy, drama-free, mature yet good humor, goal-oriented, clean but not OCD, oh and did I say trustworthy? yeah that’s the big one that is HARD to find.
It can be so hard to find great girlfriends as we get older. Hand in there, Kandy! At least we have Blogland, right? Hugs!
