“My mom is my best friend, I don't know what I'd do without her!”
Hearing that always makes me sad, because my mom and I don't have that kind of relationship. Our personalities are just too different for us to be really close, you know? We still talk, and we go shopping together pretty often, but we tend to miscommunicate and fight a lot. We don't have the same sense of humor, and I don't like to discuss my feelings with her. I love my mom and I don't know what I'd do without her, that is true, but she's definitely not my best friend.
