Everyone should have a pal. A pal is different than a friend. I can’t really explain how it’s different, it just is.
You know how you might have one friend you can tell some things to, and another friend you can tell other things to, but you’d never dream of telling the first thing to the second friend or the second thing to the first friend? You can tell anything to a pal. Anything. No filters, just complete trust.
Everyone needs a pal, even if it is a different species.
A pal is faithful. A pal is loyal. A pal will tell you when you have spinach in your teeth or if your skirt is tucked into your pantyhose. A pal will act foolish around you, and you can be foolish too.
The best thing? A pal is a pal for life. Who’s your pal?
The adorable bottle cap magnet is available in my shop. Give it to a pal.
Mrs. Sparrow is definitely one of my very favorite pals! We have shared many, many adventures over the years, a continuous stream of nonsensical chatter, as well as serious this-is-how-I-really-feel deep, emotional truths. Her disdain for feet and mine of smoked oysters has made our friendship even stronger. And the fact that we once shared a very rare affliction known as whoop and yank disease, bonded us for life as best pals!
Yay for pals! I’m glad you have a good pal in Mrs. Sparrow, and I know she has a good one in you too. I love the references to feet and oysters!
