DUH!

So today in my 2nd grade dyslexia group, we were coding and reading words using our structures and knowledge of word make up. One of the easier words we coded and read was "twin". Here is the conversation that was triggered by these four letters:

Boy: I know someone in here who has a twin.
Me: Who? You don't and Girl doesn't either.
Boy: You!
Me: I do not have a twin!
Boy: Yes you do! You showed us pictures of her with her babies!
Me: That is not my twin but she is my sister.
Girl: Yeah, Boy! She is just a sister!
Boy: I can prove it! How old is your sister?
Me: 27
Boy: How old are you?
Me: What do you think?
Boy: 30
Me: In a few weeks, you will be right.
Boy: Ha! See! Told ya!
Girl: Told us what? That you are wrong!? If they were twins they would be the same age! DUH!
Boy: You bring her up here, Ms. LaMore, and I'll prove it!
Me: Ok.......

Then, this afternoon, I was looking at Erin's post about our Christmas with them and one of her friends made a comment about her husband mistaking us. It is the day of Erin and Dana! :) I mean, we look like sisters but twins!? Maybe I'm too close to the situation.

*The last picture of the two of us I think I'm allowed to post. The latest is from the hospital when Bladen was born. :)

I'm not sure that we look like twins either, but alike enough. :) Maybe post the picture from Colorado of the one where Gregg couldn't even tell if it was me or you... Then let people decide.

And for those reading this post but don't know me - I was pregnant in this picture.
Not fat.
That's all.
Thanks.

This is funny because there was a picture of yall recently (I guess on
Erin's blog) that made me think "wow, I never thought they looked alike but they could be twins!"

Too funny, Erin!! You are beautiful, pregnant or not!!

Dana - I should provide a picture of you and me at the same age and see if they can distinguish which is which! (Dana has always been told she looks just like me!)
