I saw the most magical creatures today. I was walking through the HEB in Northwest Hills (in that hood because I had the pleasure of visiting both of my parents this afternoon). A most amazing being rounded the corner pushing a cart, her gray hair in adorable pigtails, beige baseball cap atop her head, a brightly colored, intensely patterned button-down long sleeve shirt paired with cropped pants with a pattern all their own...she was magnificient! She must have been in her mid to late 70s and I was in love! I approached her to express my adoration and to my great pleasure and astonishment a perfectly matched being came around the corner to join the first. I think I stopped breathing. TWINS! Matching faces, matching pigtails, matching beige hats, and matching outfits...only the bright patterns differed. As I walked beside them all I could get past my lips as my brain was stuck in "Awe" mode was, "I love your pigtails!!!!"
#1 Twin: "Thank you!" Huge grin spreading across her lovely face.
#2 Twin: "We're just trying to hide." Smirky grin on her face.
Me: "Oh, no...you two are BEAUTIFUL!!!"
We parted ways, all three of us turned so we could see the other, smiling with pure appreciation and, dare I say, love.
So here's the deal. I want to be them when I'm an old lady! I want to still be wearing the most awesome pigtails ever. I want to go out in public wearing REALLY LOUD clothing and look amazing in it.
I need a twin to join me in this venture...I'll be taking applications starting tomorrow.
Those twins would totally rock a shirt with this design on it...
I need to find them again!
