Emily Bett Rickards Instagram – This is my Bestie. She likes to bake but not eat the goods, serve plastic ice cream and prefers my hand to paper when colouring. She has made me rethink the spelling of my own name even though her knowledge of the alphabet is sparse. She has convinced me carbonated water is enjoyably spicy. And she has reminded my 32 year old butt there is power in saying “no”. Bestie is about to be an older sister, someone I always wanted to be and can’t wait for her to become. Her soul is about to intertwine with another and the question pedals through my mind: Do you think it’s someone she has met before? Or someone new? Someone all of us have met before…? Or…? I think Bestie and I met before. In some other life. I wonder if she called me MLEE* then too… (To properly pronounce this spelling you have to say it with a slight growl – how I would imagine the Gremlin dialect would be characterized by) 🧌
