digit ephemera

I was making the kids' advent calendars a couple nights ago. (Don't hate me, it's the only crafty thing I do all year.) I was cutting out origami numbers and gluing them on the calendar and got to thinking about how, when I was a kid, I believed that digits had genders and even personalities. 2 was a lady who liked to dress up. 9 was a fun uncle. 8 was a total bitch. And 5 was a party animal.
