Twin 5 Year Olds’ Excellent Adventure
I asked my twin sons what they want for their birthday next week because all the well-meaning family and friends are asking.
Let’s skip the part where you ask me how I couldn’t know already, I get a guilt trip, I start eating peanutbutter & chocolate chips and just cut to the chase: The List.
I’m not making this up. I couldn’t make this up. I wish I could keep a tape recorder next to them at all times — it’s like a comedy routine. And so, The List:
Twin A:
- Barbies
- Writing pad
- Coloring things, painting stuff
- Car race track
- Pollys
- G-Force cup or animal cup
Twin B:
- Fake giant ice cream truck for our kitchen with real ice cream, Batman ice cream, Spiderman ice cream, Superman ice cream, Dora ice cream, and iCarly ice cream.
- Giant swimming pool for the backyard.
- A puncher arm you put on your arm and you can swing it out and punch people.
- (Something about a giraffe — I was laughing too hard and missed this)
- Batman Legos
- Legos
- Star Wars: Clone Wars — which he insisted was Crown Wars
- Nerf swords
- Frisbee
Yes, they’re fraternal twins. How could you tell?
