in high school flo was kind of ambitious and a try hard when it came to school productions, but she was friendly enough so long as you weren't her competition. once she graduated, was pregnant and sticking around, she mellowed out and became increasingly more likeable. she's kind and caring. a little boring, but that's what young single motherhood does to a 20something (her excuse). if you don't think they'd have gotten along in high school (and honestly, i don't expect too many people outside of her artsy group to tolerate her bullshit) than they could have become friends once they were out? she worked a ton of different jobs over the years, so they could have run into one another any some point and got friendly? and i think it's part of the mom job description but she loves wine.
