Petey. Patrick had a lot of nicknames (some of them he gave to himself). (Raising our Family)

He was called P.J. as a child but once when a coworker of mine asked him if the P( in P.J.) was for Peter he answered,'yes."

Twins? (Childhood Memories)

"Are there any twins in your family?"

It was a question I was asked often and enjoyed imagining the possibilities. I don't doubt it was a recurring prayer of thanks of the other members of my family that I was an only but this escaped my understanding.

Neil was closest in age but he had pouted when he had to pretend to be the same age as me when we took a trip on the NFTA (to get the kid fare) and he was for the most part a disagreeable cohort (when the idea wasn't his).

I figured Moey would have to fill in. I'm not sure Moey was a willing participant as even today she maintains she had multiple bad experiences with my 'creative' ideas.

When "The Parent Trap' came out with Haley Mills I decided she would be my model. I found to my sheer joy the perfect outfits for us: terry cloth white short sleeve t shirts and jeans.. exactly like the ones worn by my new heroine Haley!

I'd like to share some of the great experiences we in our twin roles but nothing comes to mind. I bet Moey will remember some of these swell times!
