Competition - Woman Style!
Two things about my mom and her twin.
We were driving home from Seattle after picking up my aunt Connie and three of her children and it was rather late and they were rather tired. So people were sleeping, except mom, she was trying to stay awake to keep me awake. And Connie was in the back seat sleeping, and every 15 minutes she'd rouse herself and cry out asking if I was ok. I'd wave and she'd settle back, only to repeat the process a little while later.
I remember when I was paranoid about people (Tom) falling asleep on late-night drives. I was pretty crazy. One time, I think I just yelled at him out of the blue to make sure he wasn't falling asleep on me. And did I hit him, too? I don't know, but I was serious.
And my mom and my aunt, oh my! They are so competitive about their weight! They told me tonight that they weighed and were exactly the same! So both of them should be happy. But when one of my cousins expressed surprise that they were the same, Connie was quick to say, "Oh, so who do you think should've weighed more?" And it goes both ways, it's just crazy!

Twin posts because you're talking about twins??

Yeah By, anyway....what's up with that?
It would be so cool to meet Connie. I've heard your mom talk about her so much. I wonder what it would be like to have an identical twin.
Someone asked me the other day what I would want to experience or do "in my next life." :-) I think I would want to be an identical twin. But heaven help the world if there were two of me. Wonder if I'd be like I am now, a philosophical musician, or maybe I wouldn't be able to sing a decent note. Oh, help that's scary.

Oh yeah. When you were just a kid (well, a younger kid than you are now) you would scream at me with no warning, or suddenly hit me from the back seat. It's a wonder I didn't put the old Camaro in the ditch just because of all that!
