About this quote

True friendship can look very different depending on the problem. Some people rush to fix things; others choose to share the mess and the laugh. Which friend do you want beside you when something goes wrong? Notice who owns their part of a mistake and still has the nerve to grin about it — that tells you more than promises do.

When to use it

• At the company retreat when we got caught spray-painting the mascot and security locked us in the office overnight, I turned to Mark and said, "Well, that was fun."
• In college, after our dorm prank landed both of us in the holding cell, she nudged me and joked, "Totally worth it, right?"
• After we got arrested for crashing my cousin's surprise party and ended up in the police van, my sister just laughed and said, "We'll tell this one forever."
• Following the illegal street race where the cops showed up, my teammate grinned in the back of the cruiser and muttered, "What a night."
