would be, however, we got the biggest
surprise of all: our inner, neglected girls
felt safe to come out hiding. All three of
us lost our voices that weekend, cackling
and screaming, “Oh my God,” for all to
hear. I wouldn’t be surprised if a toenail
or two even got painted. Don’t
remember. Was too drunk on wine
spritzers.
I’m still not the most enthused
member of a bridal shower, and I’m not
saying that you have to come around and
like everything in this world that bothers
you, but I am saying that if you actively
don’t like something, it’s because it
resonates with you on some level, it has
meaning to you.
