So I was doing some work in my garage and a car drove into the driveway across the street and three young people (Two guys and a girl)(All in their 20s?) got out and walked to the door of their home.

As she got out of the car, the girl was singing (fairly nicely) the lyrics from the song “Why Can’t We Be Friends”, which I don’t know, but apparently the chorus is just the title of the song sung over and over.

So this is the totality of the (surprisingly happily conversed) conversation that I heard:

Girl (singing): Why can’t we be friends? Why can’t we be friends? Why can’t –

Guy 1:  Because we’re brothers! 

Girl (singing): – we be friends? Why can’t we be friends? Why –

Guy 2: Because we’re related!

Girl (singing):  – can’t we be friends? Why can’t we be friends? . . .

I chuckled. True enough.
