The Twin and Me Now 33...

kybearfuzzOne of the big projects I plan to do sometime is to scan in family pictures and give copies of the CD's to my family. I'm the unofficial family historian of sorts. I was looking around the other day and found the aged Polaroids of my and the twin’s second birthday.
Me, Joe the Twin, and Our Sister Rhonda
Three Kids Age Three and Under… Poor Mom :)
To this day, I am amazed that my mom held it together with three small children in the house at the same time, each driving the other crazy on a daily basis. Even more amazing I’m surprised that we’re not wearing that cake in the picture (or maybe we were after the Polaroid photo was snapped).
Hard to believe that was 31 years ago today. Eek, that means the twin and I are now …. *gasp* … 33!
Unlike my older brothers Donnie and Ronnie (yes, they’re identical twins), Joe and I never exhibited the unusual psychic twin stuff. While the older two could often read each other’s thoughts, know when one was hurt, and speak same sentences at the same time (they are creepy sometimes), Joe and I were very different. However, it was like having an in-house partner-in-crime.
Among our hi-jinks:
Hmmm.. maybe Joe is the evil twin…

However, it was like having an in-house partner-in-crime.
Among our hi-jinks:
- While playing alone in the ambulance Dad drove, his two four year-old brats pulled the parking break, allowing it to roll into the neighbor's yard. Dad thought he had forgotten to set the break. We confessed the truth some 20 years later.
- Mom couldn’t figure out why her potted plants in the bathroom were dying. She thought the steam would do them good. She soon caught her little boys "watering" the plants ourselves while standing up. Maybe she shouldn’t have kept them in the bathroom.
- When we were three, Joe pulled out my legs from under me while standing on a recliner seat. I clocked my head on the arm and was out cold.
- Around four, Joe pushed in the cigarette lighter in the car, pulled it out, looked at the red hot end, and told me to smell it. When I leaned forward, he pushed it on my nose. The tip of my nose was burned black and scabbed over.
- When we were seven, I kicked Joe in the mouth with my cowboy boot. He lost a tooth.
- When we were nine or so, Joe ignited one of Mom’s hair curlers with a cigarette lighter and used it to search for something he lost under the couch. I was in the shower and had Mom burst in with a large kettle to get water to put it out. I was running back and forth naked, bringing water in another kettle to help Mom. Joe was hiding under the bed during the excitement.
Hmmm.. maybe Joe is the evil twin…
