OPINION: I had one of those aching, exhaustingly adult moments this week with my oldest friend. We’ve been besties since our pig-tailed, primary school era in England. And whenever we Zoom, we reminisce about long, hot afternoons playing Harry Potter, guzzling banana Nesquik powder, and half-remembered gal pals who’ll forever be glitter-soaked 10-year-olds in our heads. “I always get sad about those days when I think about them,” she said, with the sigh of rapidly deflating cheerfulness, “because we were all such happy kids then. And now, when I talk to you, or any of those girls, we’ve all got these horror stories.”
