there were at least three other girls who i grew up with that had my same first name. in church there were three of us that were literally born one after each other. since i've moved to the eastern side of the USA i've run into very few women with my first name. that all changed about a year ago.
the upper east side manhattan 2nd ward boasts three "pinkys". that's right...three. all three of us have leadership positions in church also. pinky2 is relief society prez, pinky1 is young woman's prez and then there's me (aka pinky3) in the primary presidency. when pinky1's name was read about young woman prez i had a brief moment of panic where i thought i was to fill that position and i didn't remember. thankfully her last name quickly followed her first and i could breathe a sigh of relief.
it recently dawned on me that we needed to harness our natural power and unite in a pinky play date. last saturday was the inaugural one. we had root beer floats, explained how we got our name, chatted and played rock band at my apartment for a few hours while the wind blew outside. it was so much fun! i look forward to many more pinky play dates.
i apologize to those who i informed about my play date and turned away an invitation because your first name wasn't pinky. please forgive the pinky exclusivity.
