A Dummie’s Guide to Friends

Frenemy: (n) An enemy disguised as a friend.

 
It was quite by accident that I acquired my first frenemy. I don’t often misjudge people; granting someone friendship has always been a careful undertaking. But this woman…she charmed me somehow and it wasn’t until later that I realized her purpose in befriending me: to use my confidences against me to get me spanked, hard, so she could watch and laugh.
 
As a favor to you, dear readers, I’d like to illustrate via a pictorial, the difference between true friends and frenemies.
 

Frenemies: the ones on the other side of the bars, laughing at you as you’re punished for their misdeeds.
 
 

True friends: those who work together toward mutually rewarding ends.
 
 

Frenemies: those who would watch idly by while you face certain demise.
 
 

True friends: lend you a back to cry on.

 
 

Hope that spares you any unnecessary disappointment and heartache. While frenemies certainly have their place, they can do terrible damage to one’s bottom.
 
 
D & I are on vacation and have limited online access. Be a friend and leave a comment; I’ll reply when I’m able. And that’s not a back-handed promise, I swear.
