I use to read those books all the time when I was a kid. I always dreamed I would grow up to have lots of close friends much like the characters in the series. Well, things did not work out quite the way I planned. Although I do have one best (female) friend, that's it. Where my girls at? I have quite a few acquaintances but, only one true friend who would pull me out of a fire with her teeth if she had too. <-Let's hope that never happens [knock on wood]
