it is some type of spiderwort (Tradescantia) i think.

Well, I looked that up and it does not resemble that at all. Anyone else have any ideas. Can't find anything like it??

Interesting plant, never seen it before!

TG, Tradescantia sillamontana is a good guess. The leaves of papi's plant look more rounded to me and more perpendicular to the stem than most of the images that came up on google.

papi, Did your friend say if it makes any flowers?

If you look around the internet carefully, you'll see images of Tradescantia sillamontana that look just like yours, papillon, rounded leaves and all.

Good job, teengardener!

Tradescantia sillamontana looks likely to me. This is just a cutting so it would be more upright than an older specimen.

ok when I added the sillamontana to my search I found photos. I do think this is it..thanks teengardener and all for your replies. It's a cool plant I hope I have luck growing it.

Not only is it a good guess, guess it's a good answer. Kudos TG!

Well, I'm sure glad someone gave this plant a name because it's the cutest darned thing I've seen in ages!
