October 1, 2019

Don't you just love it when....the conversation starts:

Did you say your name was Antonini?

Yeah

I think I met your brother.

Yeah? Which one?

Do you have more than one?

I have six

What! Holy shit, that makes you seven.

Yeah

Do all seven ever get together?

Sometimes

Is it fun?

It's great.

Wow! lucky you, that's amazing...

Do you have any sisters?

๐Ÿ˜‚I saw that question coming, Ed. I just didn't expect it to be the punch line๐Ÿค—. Very clever!๐Ÿ™‹ I can almost see the grin on your face as you consider your friend's reaction to the answer you'd have to deliver. ⚅⚀.

๐Ÿ“•If I were telling this story, it would be from a sister's point-of-view.๐Ÿ‘€ My friend would begin with the comment, "I think I met your sister"๐Ÿ‘ญ and end with the question, "Do you have any brothers?๐Ÿ‘ฌ

The amazing thing is that this story works both ways.๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ฌ๐Ÿ‘ซ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ญ๐Ÿ‘ญ

Love you Ed,๐Ÿ‘ซ Louise

At a very early sisters' reunion on Mount Washington we took a ride up the mountain on the ski lift. The person at the bottom was amazed that we were 7 sisters. When we got to the top they had radioed up to get that person to ask if we had any brothers. That's how I remember it. Correct any details, sisters, if my memory isn't clear.
