PIPPA
When I was growing up, my favorite thing to do was to play dressup. My sister, Phoebe, and I would sneak into our mother’s closet
and try on her gowns and high heels.
Ah, to be a kid again.

Teetering around, we’d call each other darling and I would try to get our
brother to pretend to be Prince Phillip from Sleeping Beauty so we could
dance, but he’d always refuse. It may have had something to do with how
we’d call him Felipe with the French pronunciation like fell plus leap.
If that weren’t bad enough, invariably, we’d argue because even though
we understood it was make-believe, he thought it was dumb for someone
named Phillipa (me), to marry a guy named Phillip.
He probably thought we were making fun of him because it was around
that time when he insisted that we call him Freddie instead of his given
name, Phillip.
He and I are twins and yes, our parents named us Phillip and Phillipa,
respectively.
He’s Phillip Frederick Thompson, aka Freddie, and I’m Phillipa Grace
Thompson, aka Pippa. Or, Princess Calliope Avington Twinklebelle. What
can I say? I was five.
Suffice it to say, Phillip became Freddie and was the cool kid. Everyone
calls me Pippa for reasons unknown and I’m the awkward one. And then
there’s Phoebe, the third Thompson sibling, who I’m debating whether to
call in for backup. She’s the one you want in your corner, whether you’re
going into battle or playing a board game.
Even though Freddie is about a minute older than me and Phoebe is the
baby, technically making me the middle child, she’s the most mature of the
three of us. She’s our nursemaid St. Bernard from Peter Pan, making sure
the Darling little Lost Boys, erm, boy and girl, don’t stray too far off the
beaten track.
Once, while on holiday in Qatar, I met a man who claimed to be Captain
Hook. Let’s just say that after that incident, Phoebe made sure I didn’t
wander away while we were shopping in the souq.
Invisible glue holds me to the edge of the bed in my childhood room,
which Mum has kept largely the same after I moved out.
While here
visiting, I went through an old box and found my journal, containing many
of my original rules and lists, most notably, The Crush List.
I experience that same little internal quake I always did when thinking
about my crush. Seeing him in person routinely caused a full-on temblor.
Thankfully, it’s been years since I last made a fool of myself in front of The
Crush.
