Simplicity

I miss the simplicity of childhood friendship. I think the following dialogue may have been how my friendship with my childood bestfriend began:

"Do you want to be my best friend?"

"Yes. Do you want to be my best friend?"

"Yes!"

Followed by a secret handshake and WAMMO! You've got your best friend. The person you call when you want to do something, or when your brother ticked you off and you need someone to talk to, or when your family is going camping and they said you can invite just one friend. I miss her.
