but we do have brothers.

Dear Internet,

(And by Internet, we of course mean the both of you enlisted to read this blog during its awkward, training-wheel stages. Welcome! What do you think of our template? Too blue? We are already insecure and need constant reinforcement. Reinforce!)

Here’s the thing:

In our extensive probing and research, we have found that a common response to the question “Dear Lord, Why? Why another blog? ” – often goes something like:

“Well, I was telling my sister about my day? And she was, like, laughing a lot? And she kept saying: man, you’re hilarious! You should really start a blog and share your unique world views and special brand of hilarity with the world!”

We are here to confess the following:

We have no sisters.

And.

Nobody told us to do this.

Which, we guess, means that if you find our particular brand of hilarity or unique perspective on whatever we happen to be perspectifying on any given day, say, less than hilarious or relevant…well…

Maybe it’s your sister’s fault. Did you ever think about that?

We know you don’t need us, Internet.

But it’s a long winter where we are, and maybe -- just maybe -- maybe we need you.

Your Favorite Washashores,

Erin & Alex
