how long have you known your longest IRL friend? I guess mine would be since 7th grade sooooo.... 19 years. holy crap that's a long time and we are closer then ever.
In O's class last week I heard a mom say that they have to go to a bday party for her H's friends kid and she is annoyed he has these friends from so long ago that they are obliged to go. She said she has never kept friendships going which made me kinda sad for her (and also made me not want to ask her to meet at the park one day because she is probably full of drama and maybe that's why she has no long standing friends)
Re: longest IRL friend
One I met in kindergarten so about 31 years. The next we met when I was in second grade so about 29 years.
My bff and I became friends in 8th grade -- celebrating 18 years of friendship! We are thinking about doing something special when we hit 20 years to celebrate -- maybe a day at the spa!
