You know you've made a good friend when you show up at her front door with a three kids and a flat tire and she invites you in, takes your kid to school, comes back, finds something to occupy your 3 year-old, then joins you in front of her house, despite the fact that she's 20 weeks pregnant and you're morning-breathed and still in your pajamas, to help you find the spare, jack up the car, and make the switch. By the time you're done, your 3 year-old and her four year-old have destroyed her house and she's covered with nasty road grease, but she doesn't even roll her eyes at you, just tells you the best place in town to have the tire fixed and sends you on your way.
