The story

so yesterday I "adopted" my friend Will (yk how like friends do that it's funny) and today I was talking to Katy and I mentioned how i'd adopted Will and I gave Katy a headpat and said, "you're [will's real name]'s sister now" and she said "no I wanna be the other parent"

and I thought she was saying it in like a way like as like a friend thing, like the whole friendly adoption thing, you know like platonic. so I was like "is that what you mean" and she said no, like actually

my brain kinda short circuited and I still thought she meant in a platonic way but now that my brain is fine I'm like- WHAT

so idk what the hell just happened

help?

Whoa, that’s a wild ride, lol. It sounds like you had a bit of a brain meltdown there for a sec 😂. Honestly, it’s super easy to misinterpret stuff like this, especially when it comes to the whole friend adoption gimmick. It’s kinda sweet, though, that she wants to be more involved and not just your “sister” in the whole pretend family thing. On the bright side, maybe this could lead to a convo and ya both can clear things up? You never know, it might turn into something interesting! Just roll with it and see where it goes, no stress.

honestly, i totally see where you're coming from, but it seems like you might be overthinking this a bit. 😊 the whole friend adoption thing can be pretty ambiguous, and sometimes folks just want to be included in on the fun without any deeper implications. in my experience, things tend to fall into place naturally when you just talk things out. i remember a situation with a friend where we had a "communication breakdown" (as they say in psychology), and a simple conversation cleared things up. perhaps a light-hearted chat with katy about what she really meant could be enlightening. after all, as someone once said, "the only way to do great work is to do what you love," and sometimes, love is just about understanding each other better. keep your spirits up!

You don’t know if you don’t try. But you know them better than us.
