7/11

Two years ago I was home on bed rest, soaking my feet in an ice bath as it was 90 degrees outside and NOT air conditioned inside and I thought "Today would be a good birth date for the twins to have."

7/11. The reverse of my birth date, November 7. And we would forever have occasion to celebrate with a Big Gulp or a Slurpee for no other reason than "Hey, 7-11, the twins' birthday!"

Alas, we held out one more, hot day. And their birth date is NOT 7/11.
