Question of the Day

How old is your oldest friendship? This doesn't necessarily have to be a close friendship, but someone with whom you keep in touch.

I have a handful of friendships that are 20 years older or more, but my oldest friendship, at 32 years, is with A. We met in kindergarten and bonded over a shared love of Smurfs.

He and I grew up a couple of blocks apart on the same road, and, although we've both moved multiple times since, and I've lived as far away as Britain, we now live at opposite ends of that same road on which we grew up.

And now we bond over complaints about the state of the sidewalks, lol.
