I wouldn’t really call her a “friend.” I’ve had this ability to be able to talk to complete strangers since I was about 6 years old (and as the last story goes, make out with them since I was about 15).
REAL TALK: When I was around the age of 8 or 9-ish, mom got worried about this quirk and made me develop a password system with these strangers I would talk to: if anybody were to offer me a ride in their car and they weren’t a friend of my parents’, they’d have to say the word “Yoshi” for it to be a safe person to pick me up from say, after-school activities when both of my parents were working late.
To this day, I still can’t trust a person who doesn’t know what “Yoshi” means.
As for Kima, she’s a throwaway. I can’t say that about any other character on The Wire, but not even Kima [SPOILER ALERT] and her girlfriend with the “highlighter on the sofa” of memorable The Wire moments makes it to my cut.
You name me 5 great things about Kima and I can name you about 20 of a minor character like Bodie, Brother Mouzone or even Method “Cheese” Man.
