SHOCK OF THE HOUR




It’s 7:10 A.M.
Who are you going to call?
Ghostbusters?
If you’re living in Tennessee, call every and anybody—they’re up, right? (stereotype about Southerners being rooster risers)



But in New York City—there’s an unspoken law about not calling before Double Digits.
Ten=10=the start of the double digits. While this city may not sleep, its people sure do.
But rewind, my phone sang at seven. Super Virgin wakes at 5:30. Giggle. I do. Good crime-fighting hours. Most mornings I battle stereotypes/work on the website...a lot of desk work. Wait, I don't have a desk. I digress. But check it out, this morning Super Virgin got interrupted. . .I see a picture pop up on my phone. NOTE: only a couple of my Girl Scouts have pictures attached to their phonenumbers because they entered their numbers themselves. So what does a 7th grader have to say at 7 : 10 A.M. ?
“Um Miss Danielle can you bring your camera and your laptop so you can take pictures and email them to me?”
Today was Twin Day at her school.
Despite the rainy day everyone was amazingly cute.
Meanwhile, this day may have boasted the neighborhood economy. There were so many matching tees, jeans, jewelry…
One girl told me that she didn’t participate because her mom didn’t have the money, so she carried a mirror in her bag. “And if anyone asks me where’s my twin,”she said, “I show them my reflection and say “Right here!””
By far, out of all the twins— the AA Combo—two sisters whose names begin with the letter A they came in matching traditional Indian dress.
And of course I brought my camera.
Wanna see pictures?
In unrelated news:
