I live in a twin/triplet Epicenter.. In a two block radius from my house there are ( or were) 12 sets of multiples
It took me awhile to notice the first set of twins . A teenage boy on my block walked his dog by my house. He never cleaned up from it. One day I staked him out and when I saw he left a little present from his dog I ran out of the house and said ,” Could you please clean –up from that?”. The next day he did it again, some kids never learn I thought as I popped out from behind a bush and asked him to clean –up again- this time handing him a bag. About a week later I was out on the block watching the kids ride tricycles and a mutual neighbor was talking about the “Smith” twins. At that moment they walked out of the house together.
Next door to them the Kitchens moved in. Mrs. Kitchen was a 2nd wife who had triplets. They moved away after some years, but once they came back to Kent Rd. for a visit. The triplets kept hitting each other and grabbing toys from each other’s hands. At one point one of them drew blood, I told the vampire triplet to knock it off. Mrs. Kitchen looked slightly offended. “It’s only sibling rivalry , all kids go through it”, she said. I told her that sibling rivalry should not necessitate rabies shots. She never spoke to me again.
A most ingenious twin parent came up with a way for people to tell her identical twins sons apart. Lou and Joe live around the corner. Lou to this day ( the guys are 19 now) always wears blue and Joe wears what ever color he wants. So whenever you see them the kid in blue you know it is Lou and the other guy with him is just plain old Joe.
Twin sets four and five are in the same family. Yep two sets of fraternal twins. The thing about these twins is that they are all drop dead gorgeous and have modeling careers. Good looks cubed. In this case a good idea to replicate, speaking of replication…
Identical births occur when the zygote keeps dividing. Google tells me that there are 63 sets of identical quadruplets world-wide, 7 sets of quintuplets and zero sets of identical sextuplets. Of course one set of identical quads ,the Durst girls from Buffalo Minnesota have a reality TV show. ( they all kind of hate each other) Imagine being a 16 year old girl and being in competition with 3 other doppelgangers at every turn.
The most unique set of twins on my block are triplets with an identical twin set. Braedon and William McCormick are identical blond haired blue-eyed identical twins. Their fraternal twin brother Cameron is brown haired and brown eyed and about half their size. He probably thinks he looks exactly like them, he should never look in a mirror.
Also on the block are the identical Betty and Veronica. They are Russian and their real names are Bronislava and Verushka, but you know how Russians are with their multiple names.
Around the other corner, Avery and Jared have the distinction of looking nothing alike. It appears as if their parents each had a child of their own. Imagine a child coming from a thin petite dark eyed Cubana woman and a child coming from a 6’4” blue- eyed dude, that’s what the boys look like. Across the street from them is another set of fraternal twins, theoe guys resemble each other, though.
One set of twins moved out and another set moved in around the corner. Another set of identical twins had the distinction of living in 3 houses on my block, first their family rented a house, then they bought a house . The husband got a job down south, they sold their house but moved back. Some twins never leave the epicenter.
these six words leapt out from the sermon I heard in church this morning. Thanks Pastor Jodi. (I attend a Baptist church which has two lady ministers on the pastoral team.)We can live with peace and joy no matter...
