One more: Back at the time when best girlfriends were everything, my best friend and I shared a love of horses and a desire to stand our ground against the “bad boys” on her block; unfortunately, that was about all we shared. I learned a lesson in friendship from my mother: my BF lied to me about something I was wearing, making me feel terrible. When I told my mother (who knew this girls for what she was) what my “friend” said her reply was, “I would never let you go out looking foolish. I would tell you the truth because that’s what friends do.” Of course, she also taught me to be kind and tactful, but I learned an invaluable life lesson that day. She died not long after that but she lives with me still, as you can see.

Phoebe wants Marigold to promise not to think it’s dumb…but also promise to try and promise to- oh boy this is a REALLY confusing conversation!

I tell my friends that stuff is dumb all the time, but they know that I dont really mean it.
