I posted some time ago -- thought maybe some of you wonderful Loungers would like to read it again. ----- But I can be what I am. - A few decades ago - way out in the country - living in a five room oil field house - was a man and lady starting their married life - the man was an oil field tool dresser, the woman a house wife. They were up by six bells every morning and by the time the man had his bath room chores smashed, she had his breakfast ready. Then he was of to work. They lived a life of contentment with newly wed squabbles and if course - with sniffles and tears, the wife won most of them. Then it happened - she became pregnant and a few months later - into this world was added two more beautiful boys. Yes! two boys - twins in fact - identical - The usual ooooooees and ahaaaas - aren't they cute - how do you tell them apart - I'm their mother you know - she would say. Time scooted on by - the twins grew and husband and wife became - mom and dad. The twins hit the year mark - and had learned how to walk and being inquisitive little monsters they loved to pull out drawers and scatter the contents all over the floor. Of course when mom got her fill of it she would paddle our little butts. Didn't do much good - in a few days we were at it again. Back in those days the sugar bowl, salt and pepper were kept in the center of the dining table. Yup! you guessed it - when we were caught, after scattering sugar all over the table - our little butts were busted again. We were together most all the time - we learned to converse without speaking a word. We just knew what the other was thinking and acted on it. When we hit the teen age life - we started dating - thats when we each went our own way. There were times when we would get tired of one girl and we would swap dates. It usually worked out OK. l can remember one time - me and a couple other other boys were standing in line to get our tickets to go to the midnight cinema - when up walks this girl , and starts bawling me out - You know what? she says. No! what? i ask. You are - undoubtedly the most conceited, self centered, bad mannered boy I've ever met. Some times your real friendly and other times you wont even speak. Then she turned, stuck her nose up in the air and walked off - didn't give me a chance to tell her I had a twin brother. I have posted a small amount of my young life's history. I cannot be young again - all I have left is memories. I can be what I am now - Enjoy my twilight years - Smiles and hugs Movieman - love you all
