    My Duncan Buddy’s name was Chariteey. She and I did not have that great of a relationship. Some days she would say that she did not like me, while other days she would apologize for saying that she didn’t like me.

I told her that it was ok that she said it because she apologized, but that she cannot go around saying things like that to other people.
