Weekly Whistle: Sweet Tea, Stranger, & John Lennon
This week’s Weekly Whistle title was a struggle. 98.79% of the time I believe that I come up with clever titles. Frustrated and suffering from writer’s block–I grabbed my sunglasses and a glass of Milo’s sweet tea and went outside to lounge by the pool.
After an hour and almost falling asleep, the title came to me! I remembered a comment a nice stranger (not stranger danger–don’t worry, mom!) said to me–“I love your sunnies! Very John Lennon.” To which I replied, “Thanks so much!” and then continued to walk to my car…thankful that I was not recognized as “The VIP”. Who would have thought that sunburn and sunglasses would make such a great disguise? Anyway…long story short, that comment from the lovely stranger inspired today’s title. Thank you, kind stranger!
Now, that is enough chatting and story telling! It is time to see what the VIP’s outfit of the week is–Come on, fashionistas!
