    Font - Brianne M. Kohl ... @BrianneKohl My 8yo daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named "Internet." I said no way, that can't be her name but my daughter has been adamant. For almost a year we've been having this discussion. ANTOINETTE. I just found out her name is Antoinette. 5:20 AM · 3/18/22 · Twitter Web App 85.9K Retweets 10K Quote Tweets 905K Likes
