Why I Call My Mom My Best Friend

A guide to the coolest woman on the planet.

When anything happens in my life. I call her. Immediately.

She's honest about my outfits.

No matter what. She can always make me laugh.

She knows just what to say when I'm freaking out about real life.

She always has great stories.

She's a professional pep-talker.

She reminds you that you aren't alone in your awkwardness.

She believes the solution to most problems is one thing: dancing.

She gives the best relationship advice.

She was your first "person."

She knows you're weird.

Really weird.

Sometimes we trade off living vicariously through each other.

Above all, she's your best friend because she is brilliant--inside and out.
