Oh, and one strange thing. There were 17 children of these Twin/Twin parents. All the kids called both men Dad and both women Mom. Skeevy, I know. ---

I just know I had an identical twin. My Mom just picked the one she liked and threw the other one out the window on the way home. Oh…wait. Dang it! I always render my daydreams null and void, like this. What if my Mom liked my twin Sister better? She removed a sock and in the sunlight threw me out instead. And she thought she had the right twin. Gah?!?! Wait. How did she ever figure it out? Man oh man! She got the dud, with me. Oh, wait that ain’t me. I hate myself No wait…I hate my twin sister. Dammit. Shut up beck. Oh. My name might be another name. Or maybe Mom started calling me her name. Would that make me be me, for real. Ok. I’m getting an genetic test. Oh, that wont work. ---

And cel phones, it seems. He’s sure lost a bunch of them. The thing about the whole ordeal is he lamented the loss of his fish diary, for days. I was bumfuggled about that. Who keeps a fish diary? And I didn’t know he could even write. Son-of-a-wrek gets a wistful look on his face when it’s brought up in conversation. Then he cracks up😂 Big Wrek says, Dude don’t you have somewhere else to be? When it gets bad. ---
