They Did Everything Together

It was a sunny day and the Skrables were over at Paul’s(I must have been about 4 or 5 at the time). We were all waiting at the back door for drinks before going outside. It all started with someone saying “I want ‘said drink’ ”, someone else echoed “me too”, then “me three” as a joke and so on. I sat there giddy waiting for my turn to say “me” and a number, but I kept waiting because I believed we were going in age order so I thought I had to be last in the line. Eventually we all got our drinks, I said my number and we ran outside. I remember specifically saying hi to everyone as I skipped past them either on the play set or the trampoline. I couldn’t tell Jim and Sam apart so would just randomly guess. I said “Hi Sam!” to one of them on the play set and he corrected me “I’m Jim”. Then I giggled and ran over to the trampoline to say “Hi Jim” and waiting for his correction of “I’m Sam”. I’m not sure what I expected to happen, but to me it was like magic because they looked and sounded exactly alike. So, did my little self imagine that they’d suddenly switch places on me and become who I referred to them as? No clue, but I found it absolutely hilarious and wanted a twin of my own. -Sierra
