Twins: That Special Bond

Some special things the brothers do (often to each other):

  • Tackle in the open field (at the ankles or waist), while trying to disguise it as a hug.
    If you are watching the Jets twenty years from now and a big, blond, non-tattooed linebacker puts a tooth-rattling hit on some poor scrappy wide receiver and you lip read as they are crashing to the turf and realize the linebacker is shouting "Uggies! Uggies!", think about Jack and remember exactly how Thomas got so good.
    I think Jack's potential in the NFL is inherently limited because of all the helmets they wear. Biting someone else's ear is much less effective when the other person is wearing a helmet.
  • Jack can scale any child safety gate you put in front of him. But he doesn't try to do this very often. Ever since he figured out how to just open the gate he hasn't felt the need to risk falling on his head.
  • Sit on top of their dresser. No comment.
    But very soon their room is going to look similar to a prison cell. I've already removed the lamp.
  • Attack each other with puzzle pieces (aka dinosaur teeth).
  • Argue over the ABC song. That's right: sometimes they'll sing it together and at certain points not be in agreement about what letter comes next. Very cute.
  • Play "train" with any rope- or string- like thing they can find. They each take an end and then they run all over the apartment. First one to fall and hurt himself loses.
