But Seriously, It Never Does Get Old

Aside from having an automatic organ donor should I ever need one, another benefit to having a twin are the quirky inside jokes that we share. Since we have similar personalities, we also have strikingly identical eating habits which was a huge problem growing up since if it wasn't a hot dog or chicken nugget neither of us would touch it. Yeah, I get it - we were really fortunate to have a mom who put in the time and effort each night to ensure that we had a hot and nutritious family dinner. However, out of all the experimental meals my mom managed to find in Family Circle magazine, none were as reviled by the Troll and I as stuffed peppers. My mom informed me that she and my dad were having stuffed peppers for dinner last night and Troll and I had a good laugh about that one. It never does get old, does it?

Melissa,

I wouldn't normally bother you at work but this is kind of urgent - you may want to head towards BWI right after work and grab the 4:30 Airtran flight to Boston. What's the emergency?

Mom announced that she and dad are having stuffed peppers for dinner. I would hate for you to miss out on all the fun.

luv, me

Pick me up at Logan at 6. Beg mom and dad to wait for me so that I don't miss a minute of the excitement :)

I just called mom. She was going to eat at 5:30 but since you're coming in, she said that she'll hold off on serving dinner til 7. I hope they bought enough. Personally, I'm good for 5 or 6 stuffed peppers - I like them even better than tuna casserole or tomato mac 'n cheese.

Hi,

Apparently you've told mom that I don't approve of her meal choices. She wanted to know where to mail the leftover stuffed peppers, home or school :) I did get her to admit that even the dog wasn't interested in partaking in tonight's meal. Gee, I can't imagine why.

Mom doesn't understand why we'll eat raw fish that until seconds before arriving on a plate had a pulse but we won't eat her stuffed peppers. Do you want to field that one? BTW, way throw me under the bus. Don't come crying to me when you need a kidney.
