A little friend: identifies themselves when they call
A big FRIEND: doesn't have to
A little friend: opens a conversation with a full news bulletin on their life
A big FRIEND: says "What's new with you?"
A little friend: thinks the problems you whine about are recent
A big FRIEND: says "You've been whining about the same thing for 14 years. get off your duff and do something about it.
A little friend: has never seen you cry
A big FRIEND: has shoulders soggy from your tears
A little friend: knows almost nothing about your family
A big FRIEND: knows the medical history, dietary habits and marital troubles of everyone on your tree
A little friend: Bail you out to jail
A big FRIEND: seat beside you inside the jail saying "we messed up! but great!"
A little friend: calls you at 10pm just to chat
A big FRIEND: knows you hate to be called after 9pm
A little friend: when visiting, they act like a guest
A big FRIEND: when visiting, they open your refrigerator, put they're feet on the sofa, and chat with your parents
A little friend: thinks the friendship is over when you argue
A big FRIEND: knows that a friendship's not a friendship until you've had a fight
