Are they twins?

[la_rainette]

I got the question yet again today: Are they twins?

Because, of course, Froglet and Tadpole are remarkably similar, if you overlook a few meaningless details, such as: one is almost one head taller than the other; one has curly, light hair while the other one has darker, extra-straight hair (raides comme la justice, as we say in French: as stiff as Justice); one has a very charming, dimpled smile, the other one has a very mischievous, undimpled smile.

Oh, wait, yes: they do wear matching dresses. I guess that makes them twins.

To be honest, they do have the same dark eyes, the same olive skin, and the same pout. But once you get past that, well, they're very different, really. One is a tall, leggy, multi-lingual chatterbox ; the other one looks like a tiny, rotund pepperpot and speaks preferably in her own idiom.

If you want to picture the resemblance, think C3PO and R2D2, you know, the robots from Star Wars.

Hum. *ponders* That's OK, really. I mean, they could be like Luke and Leia, and there I'd be, married to Darth Vader *shudders*. Husband would not be pleased.

*pleased* They're like mine! Except for the multi-lingual part. :)They have the same blond hair, fair skin, pouty mouth, and blue eyes; but one is, as you said, tall and leggy and a chatterbox, and the other is a tiny round pepperpot who also chatters, but only I can understand her.

Because we have a Cajun heritage (we are actually Irish, but we landed in a place where they only spoke French, so that's what we learned--English came a couple of generations later) I am trying to teach Danae what tiny bit of corrupted French I know; but she gets it mixed up with Spanish, which her cousins from Texas speak.

(In this day and age, if she can grow up to communicate coherently in her native language, I suppose I should be happy. Working in human relations, I see way too many people that can't seem to manage that.)

Well, she has a mom who can explore in depth the meaning of four different words used to Walk Southern and correct her sibling's spelling. That'll help a lot *g*.

I understand what you mean, though. I am currently reading "eats, shoots and leaves" - it's very funny, but it sounds a little exaggerated at times, especially the description of all the abuse the apostrophe has to suffer. And then, the other day, Husband brought Paycheck home (the movie with Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman): halfway through, there was a newspaper article called "Whatitsname Corp. announce it's response"... I yelped, and Husband had to bodily restrain me, lest I throw the DVD out of the window. COME ON PEOPLE! THIS IS YOUR LANGUAGE! < /rant > *grins sheepishly*

Well, that took a funny turn there, at the end! Silly, my friend!

*sighs wearily* Don't tell me Darth Vader isn't Luke and Leia's father, because this would mean I haven't understood anything at all.

And Tadpole does occasionally remind me of R2D2. Just prettier :D
