They're Making Their Lists...

Beyond my comprehension, our two will be turning TEN---that's DOUBLE DIGITS, as I'm oft-reminded these days---on September 5.

Naturally, we're hoping to present presents to please, because after all, they're going to be TEN---that's double digits, you know.

In keeping things fraternal, as our two have done for nearly TEN years (that's double digits, and don't you forget it!), their wished-for items reflect their pronounced twindividuality.

Today, for your perusal---and amuse-al---behold She-Twin's lofty list:

1. William
Who's William? A sweet kitten from the SPCA. Double Daddy detests cats; not only that, She-Twin and He-Twin are allergic. Not going to happen. [FYI: William has found a happy home. Not ours.]

2.) iPod Touch
Uh, no.

3.) Cat (in general, if not William)
See #1. She's nothing if not tenacious.

4.) DSI
The pervasive, popular hand-held electronic game system. Call us tyrants, we aren't doing them---or any console video games---in our house. At others' homes, A-OK.

5.) million bucks
Suppose it never hurts to ask...

6.) Pomeranian
Not going to happen. Larry will put his paw down.

7.) Huskie Webkinz
Want to say this is a possibility, unless of course they've been discontinued and are available only via extortionists on eBay...

8.) a Faberge egg
Think the last one that went on the auction market sold for upwards of $18.5 million. Refer to #5...

9.) hamster
Not going to happen. Larry will put his paw down.


10.) bunny
Not going to happen. Larry will put his paw down. [FYI: Double Daddy and I had a much-loved She-Bunny named Dwayne for 8+ years. She passed in 2000, and a few months later, we learned we were pregnant with twins.]


11.) kitten
Repeating the same request over-and-over does not work. Hoping once She-Twin turns TEN (that's double digits, you know), she'll figure that out.


12.) iPhone 4
Hasn't she heard the iPhone 5 is coming out later in September? Not going to happen.

13.) cel phone
No. Not going to happen.

So anyone have any ideas for what might please a precocious, yet consummately precious, nearly ten-year-old She-Twin? Needless to say, we're open to suggestions....




TOMORROW: He-Twin's wish list. Be sure to tune in....
