We met before we could remember. We became classmates, teammates, and friends by the time we were in first grade. We were always competitive, but we were never quite coordinated enough to make the winning shot. After years of school, sports, and fun, and much to the dismay of our parents we took our first (on the books) date. We were not old enough to drive together, so naturally we pulled down the street, just out of eye shot and left one car on the side of the road.
The rest is history.
