You've all heard the expression a fair weather friend. Y'know, the guy who's there to eat your food when you come back from McDonalds. The man who will sit by your side and happily let you pay for his Denny's bill. The man who won't back down, even when you're the most popular kid in school. Yep, those are fair weather friends. Gotta love 'em.
But if those exist, then the opposite must too. As a matter of fact, I know they do. Yeah, I'm talking about foul weather friends. The people who get called at 2am when you're crying because your boyfriend left you. The people who pick you up when you're walking in the rain 'cause you locked your keys in your car. The ones there to take the fall with you when you get cut from the basketball team 'cause your skinny little butt ain't got ups.
Sometimes, I feel like a foul weather friend. I felt bad at first, feeling like I was only wanted because I dared to listen for one minute. Only asked to hang out to fill the whole their girlfriend left in their hearts. But then I removed myself from the situation, looked down from higher ground, and realized I have it good.
A foul weather friend is infinitely better than a fair weather friend in my mind. At least they care when it counts. So please, all you people moochin' off your "best friend"'s credit card...I hope you stick it out when the bill shows up.
Foul Weather Friends FOREVER! [FWFF?]
