Overheard giggles. I’m sitting in this cozy twin bed in my family’s house, having just finished a lazy conversation on the usual subjects with a friend of the growing-up-together-variety…an exchange interrupted by my twin asking my friend via IM if she was talking to me, because she could hear me giggling in her room (taken over from my brother in 1992) down the hall. I feel like it could be 1990 or 1999 or 2005 or any year in between, breathless -or snorting, as the case may be- bursts of laughter interspersed with empathy, encouragement and discussions on books/relationships/the next time we’ll get to go dancing together in Philly. twin interruptions required (though at least I can roll my r’s these days!).

Forgive the sappy. Heading to back to Peru entirely too soon…
