25 Random Things

This is inspired by Metrodad.

For those of you on Facebook, you're probably aware of the recent digital craze revolving around a chain-letter/literary exercise called “25 Random Things About Me.", I decided to do 25 random things that might be swimming in the heads of the 21-month-old twins.

1. When I wake up, I like to tell Mommy my dreams but she just doesn't get me.

2. Papa and Mommy speak very slowly around us. Do they think we are from. another. country?

3. When I bathe, I like to stand outside the bath tub and play with the water inside.

4. Pooping is a big deal. When I tell Mommy or anyone I have "potty", everyone cheers! I like it!

5. I would like to drive a bus or a garbage truck one day.

6. The best time of the day? When someone walks in through the magical front door.

7. The worst time of the day? When people walk out the door and we're stuck behind it.

8. Food must also be a big deal. Mommy and Aunties seem very obsessed about getting it into us.

9. Food is fun to play with and belongs on the floor.

10. Mommy sure rolls her eyes a lot when she's downstairs us. We wonder if it's because of other people downstairs. But we haven't figured out who yet.

11. Paint belongs on our clothes and faces.

12. Mommy tells us that thunder is when God goes bowling. How old does she think we are? Thunder is the monsters coming to get us and the only way to keep him away is to make more noise than him!

13. Yes means No. No means No.

14. We like Dora, Boots, Thomas and Bob. Wallace and Gromit scare the beejeezus out of us.

15. Grandma insists on making us watch BabyTV. Yawn! It's for babies! The music's all insipid. Give us some tunes!

16. School is fun. But if only Mommy could hang with us while we were there! Crying doesn't seem to make her want to stay.

17. The best feeling in the world is when Papa dangles us upside down.

18. The easiest way to make the big people laugh is for us to copy one another. Can you say parrot? We can't! But we can squawk like one!

19. It is not cool that I can't wear Mommy's shoes everywhere.

20. Our best friends are a couple of bears, an elephant and a duck. Mommy should make up a tale about some bears, an elephant and a duck walking into an ice cream place.

21. After lunch, the room always goes dark and we are expected to nap. What a grand waste of time. We have things to do and places to go.

22. Supermarkets are like a grand buffet. Take. Eat.

23. The man who invented the escalator and the lift is a genius.

24. We take offence when people call us stubborn and defiant. Do it our way and no one goes deaf.

25. My sister's name is "NO" and my name is "NOTTIE".
