When Adelade was in the second grade, she had a cute little best buddy at school. The girls did everything together, including sitting next to each other in class, saving seats for each other at lunch, and making up funny games to play at recess.
But, one day Adelade arrived at school and her best buddy wouldn’t speak to her. In fact, she moved away from Adelade in class, sat at a different table at lunch, and played chase with the boys at recess instead of making up funny games. She began to whisper about Adelade and even went so far as to tell her that they were “frenemies.” When I googled it (um, I’m old), I found out that a frenemy is either someone who is your enemy but acts like your friend, or it’s someone who is your friend who is also your rival. Really?? In second grade?
