How I relate

I related to the following from The White Castle. " I had spoken of a childhood friend of mine with whom I'd developed the habit of thinking the same thing at the same time." I was and am still very good friends with my cousin Steve and we used to play pick up baseball, football games running bases. Whenever we did this it always seemed like I knew where to run to when I was catching a pass or who he wanted to throw out without him telling me. I felt like I knew him so well that I could just predict what he would do. Now that we are older I can still do that when we talk. I know how he thinks and how he will react to a person or situation. It's cool to know someone that well.
