A friend just uploaded a big mix of photos to facebook. I was flipping through them and stopped at one of a little girl, who is probably about four years old. She looked vaguely familiar (not so much familiar; she just strongly resembled someone, but I couldn’t think of who). It was tagged as Jackie Westlake*.

Westlake? Hmmm. Definitely knew a Westlake once upon a time. But Jackie? Who is heck is that? The Westlake I knew didn’t have sisters? So I click on the tag. It takes me to the facebook OF THE FOUR YEAR CHILD, whose name is indeed Jackie. Her mother, Erica*, is in fact that person who I went to high school with. And who the child looks a lot like, freakishly so. Upon scanning the facebook, it became clear that someone (the mother, I assume) has made a facebook account in the four year old’s honor and actively posts as her. “Santa came to see me! Yay!”. “Mommy makes the best ice cream sundaes!” “Hope everyone comes to my birthday party next weekend!”.

What. The. Fuck.

names have been changed, obviously
