Today, Kat introduces us to her friend, Ana. She explains that Ana is interested in most activities. In other words, she’s down to do many things. Ana would like to have a water fight, and she’s interested in going to the beach, but she’s not down to pay for Kat’s food.

Most of us are down to help our good friends. We might carry boxes for them when they move. Or we might just be available to answer the phone when they need to talk. What are you down to do for your friends? Would you be down to buy your best friend lunch?
