Accidental Twinsies

Their mother yelled up to Presley and Lilly who were busy with tween fun in their respective bedrooms. “Granny’s here, come give her a hug.” And they ran down excited and happy until I opened my big mouth. “Oh, you are so adorable in your twin outfits. Let me take your picture,” I said as I reached for my phone. They were horrified as each looked at the other’s outfits and protested it was a terrible accident, completely unplanned. “We would never dress alike,” they screamed as they ran away. The their mother insisted they come back down and pose for my photo. Not even fake smiles could be mustered in this disastrous moment. Their eyes squeezed shut in denial as they prayed no one would recognize them. The emotional trauma is palpable. Greatest photo ever! I wonder if they’d let me use it for my photo contest entry.
