Great news, **Beck**! So happy to hear that you’re home, amongst family and animal friends. I hope Bayliss was especially happy to see you! > [@VOW](#): > > Tell us about the Meezers! No one cares about the evil Meezers, but, in my capacity as an Honorary Dog, I might be biased. Still, in the spirit of equanimity, I would like to hear about Jojo’s homecoming, which I believe is supposed to be next week. 🙂 ---

Well, The Siamese cats keep lookin’ askance at me. No howling yet. I woke up in the middle of the night and they were on the headboard looking down at me (that’s not unusual). I said “Hi, Siamese cats!” Bear, stuck his paw towards me(in an all too threatening manner, I believe) and hissed at me. Meeko just walked in one tight circle and snoozed. Ungrateful Li’l Brats. ---

Yep. I was two timing them. The Catz rumor mill is notorious. I never kissed Dot and Dash. But, I’ve never kissed Bear and Meeko, either. I like my eye too much. ---

Unless the older one is going to inherit more of the Wrek family fortune and/or a throne I’d be asking the pediatrician about making a Sharpie dot in an armpit or something, maybe even a tiny tattoo dot somewhere so you can keep track of medical stuff like have both babies had all their vaccines, which one had Fifth’s disease last month? ---

When a couple we know had twins, I asked if they were keeping both of them. Some weird looks at first, but then some serious conversation. They kept both and are regretting it two years later! ---

Hey Beck I’m glad you’re doing better. Best wishes for healing. I wasn’t nearly as entertaining when I was in the hospital for more routine stuff. Although the staff did appreciate my glitter taped walker ---

I wish I had asked my Daddy about this before he died. He was a twin and his Daddy was as well. In fact his Dad and his identical twin married a set of identic twin woman. No body really cares in Arkansas but I have double 2nd cousins. I like to pretend they’re all weird. Wait …they ARE all weird! I’m not going to that reunion ever again, I tell you what. 🤯 ---

Aren’t they, technically, full siblings with each other? I could swear I read that somewhere. ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I’m not going to that reunion ever again, I tell you what. 🤯 Well, after avoiding a pair of twin cousins all my adult life, I got to talking with one who is retired and discovered we have several things in common, and she’s pretty awesome. So sad that I missed this. Her sister remains less interesting and interested. They were pretty repressed by their father. My mother called them insipid, with cause. But they have blossomed since dad died when they were in their late 30s. ---

Double first cousins, actuall, since eacyh spouse in marriage A is a sibling of a spouse in marriage B, and they’re only at the second generation from common grandparents. Happened in my family, with my maternal grandfather and his brother marrying sisters (no twins in that case). The offspring of these kids would be second cousins to each other. Spend enough time around people who are into genealogy and you pick this stuff up. 🙂 Genetically, they’d be more like full siblings, since the dads are genetically identical, as are the moms. ---

The boys were full brothers. The sisters were full sisters. Different families. I hope. Not seeing any 6 fingered cousins, yet. Not sibs with each other, at all. The Father of the girls was a fundementally Religious type. He was very, VERY against the marriages. I’ve seen copies of his will. He wrote them out them of it. They did inherit when their Mom died. My Daddy owned a piece of Land from the old Gent.
