I found my friend Rosey sitting in her garage looking rather sad. “What’s up?” I asked. She said she’d lost some of her friends. I remembered a quote I saw online.
“In life we never lose friends, we only learn who the true ones are”
She adopted one of her confused expressions; not the ‘totally confused’ one, but the ‘not-entirely-sure-what-you-mean’ version. She shook her head and started burrowing through the rubbish. I ducked as a bucket flew towards me.
“What are looking for?” I asked.
“Friends” she shouted. Now it was my turn to look confused.
“Series three and five of Friends”.
Friday Fictioneers is hosted by Rochelle. Thanks to Douglas M MacIlroy for this week’s photo.

A classic Rosey misunderstanding. To be fair, I did endlessly watch ‘Friends’ and series 3 is a classic 😉

Dear Keith,
Since I never watched Friends this one sort of sails over my head. There are friends and then there are acquaintances. Sometimes it’s tough to learn the difference. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Oh, the ambiguity of the English Language —further muddied by writers and TV producers!
Of course Shakespeare gave us Greek to me and Charles Dickens gave us Scrooge.
Glad to hear you and Rosie finally synced. Wasn’t there a “Neighbours” once, too?

Ha! There’s friends and then there’s Friends – you can always trust the latter to be there for you (unless you’ve accidentally chucked them in the garage).
