ditto

We've been blessed with 11 kids. The first eight alternated gender, girl, boy (twins), girl, boy, girl, boy, then girl. Then we had another girl, the first time we've had siblings next to eachother of the same gender. It's been a new experience for us, they are always together. Therese, the younger, copies everything Lisette, the older, does. Every pain Lisette has, Therese has. Everything Lisette want's to eat, Therese wants to eat. Everything Lisette says, Therese tries to say but usually messes up the words. It is so cute.



Well, the other night I was out on the back porch cooking, Lisette was going to the back yard to swing, she turns to me flapping her arms like a chicken and says

"Dad, how come the muscles in my arm pits hurt when I swing on the swing?"

I said "I'm not sure honey"

Two seconds later Therese looks at me, I could see the wheels turing in her head, trying to understand what Lisette asked so she can re-ask the same question, she turns to me and asks

"Yeah, dad, why do the nuckles in my arm pits hurt when I swing on the swing?"

I just smiled and said "I don't know why".
