Friends


 

Friends

Friends

are the ones who

are there for

you.

They

duct tape you

to a wall.

Stuff your face

in a bowl of

oatmeal.

Make you

sniff their feet.

And force you to

kiss their dog

as a dare.

They

love chocolate.

Eat paper.

Plot ways

to make their brothers

"disappear."

And enjoy it when

you publically humiliate yourself.

But as friends

they also

help you get the duct tape

out of your hair.

Rinse the oatmeal from your face.

Split the chocolate.

Share the paper.

And always

help you get up again

after that embarrassing moment

because they are

your

friends.
