twins frequently do the same thing the same instant. You see, Sis was expecting a girl. She bought all the fancy clothes, and so on, that go with girl babjes. * Andâ€"then Sis had twins. Boys, at that.

Roberts, had beâ€" come a mother of twins, cracked: ‘You‘ve .been seeing too -;y double features lately!"‘ And I, for one, would NOT call them "ange!s"â€" particularly when they toss their bottles to the floor with utter abandon during these almost sleepless nights. . But . ; . their parents are vacaâ€" tioning â€" how they. deserve one after 16 months with these twins! â€" and it is up to us to take care of Bill and John. "Be off with you, Bill!
