Twin Rules

Ethan's dad is an identical twin so this was written by his dad and uncle. This was read at our shower.

Dearest Heather and Ethan,
In preparation for the arrival of the twins, Uncle Greg and I have taken the liberty to prepare the following Twin Rules. Being that we are the only twins in the collective gene pool we represent ourselves as experts in this matter. ;-)
1. Dressing the twins the same must cease after 1st grade. It is only cute to the observer.
2. Under no circumstances are these beautiful babies to be entered into tap dance lessons or be entered into any toddlers and tiaras like competition. We were placed in tap lessons against our will in second grade. Having shown no latent talent for such foolishness we believe we were being exploited as a possible cash cow for our mother.
3. Rhyming names such as Perry and Jerry, Jenny and Penny are strictly forbidden. Remember the twins have to live with this silliness longer than the parents.
4. Historical data indicates that twins raised as Cubs Fans are more likely to be incarcerated in their life time. “GO SOX”.
5. Always insure that you have the correct offender when administering discipline. Taking a whooping for your twin does not qualify under the taking one for the team rule.
6. Embrace each twin’s individuality. On birthdays receiving individual different gifts is wonderful.
Regards,
The Expert Panel of Twinness
