We might even still coordinate outfits, pretending it was a total accident. In reality, not much is different; we\u2019re just older and enjoy more wine!<\/p>\n<p>Best friends are like the siblings we never had. Even if we did have siblings, we might not have liked them very much. While our siblings might have stolen our favorite toys or embarrassed us, our best friend was the one we\u2019d prank call and cry to when our crush held hands with someone else on the playground.<\/p>\n<p>We wouldn\u2019t be where we are today without our best friends\u2014both back in the \u201990s and now, even if some things have changed a bit.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12143\" src=\"http:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/458944209_352702191252054_2204481063375766981_n-735x400-1-300x163.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/458944209_352702191252054_2204481063375766981_n-735x400-1-300x163.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/458944209_352702191252054_2204481063375766981_n-735x400-1.jpg 735w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"163\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. The Fights We Get Into<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the \u201990s: Your BFF promised to take care of your digital pet while you were away on vacation, but then she let it die. After that, you just couldn\u2019t look at her the same way.<\/p>\n<p>Right now: We don\u2019t really fight like that anymore.

How We Make Up Afterward<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In the \u201990s: Before smartphones, resolving a fight with your BFF meant passing her a note in class. You\u2019d fill it with frown faces, dot the i\u2019s with hearts to show how sad you were without her, and end with \u201cLYLAS\u201d \u2014 \u201clove you like a sis,\u201d just in case anyone forgot our abbreviations.<\/p>\n<p>Now: Making up usually involves a $12 Starbucks drink and a smiling selfie of the two of you together to move past it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12141\" src=\"http:\/\/jokesdaddy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/WAVCWAC.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"269\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>3.

We thought we were so rebellious.<\/p>\n<p>Now: Who goes out anymore? Not us! Just give us something to binge on Netflix and a bottle (or twelve) of wine, and we\u2019re all set.
