okay ... twin stories! <g>
Of course, by the time I came along, the twins were adults, but the stories!
My father's mother had two sets of twin boys, two years apart ... my father was the oldest son, so he was the one who got to 'keep an eye on the boys".
Well, apparently, family interaction was minimal, since both sets of twins learned to communicate privately with each other. They had their own secret language, and everyone in the family "interpreted"!
The youngest set of twins was the most adept at their chosen language.
They started the first day of school, and the teacher called grandmother wright from okalahoma and told her, "Mrs. Wright! I am NOT a babysitter, nor do I intend to spend any time baby talking to two perfectly healthy children. Either they come to school speaking English, or you can just keep them home!"
And, by golly!
They started talking! One of them never shut up, and the other twin talked only when absolutely necessary ... but they TALKED English! LOL
