Thing 1: "Pete was back at school today."
Thing 2: "Was he sick?"
Thing 1: "He was in the hospital. They had to do surgery."
Thing 2: "What happened?"
Thing 1: "He had appendagitis. His appendage was hurting. It's near your stomach. Anyway, the doctor cut it out."
Thing 2: "I didn't know that."
Thing 1: "I read somewhere that you don't really need your appendage anyway. I bet you could sell it for a lot of money."
No escape from the crazies.
ReplyDeleteThis is why you should bring a change of clothes to work, so you don't carry the crazy home.
I am guessing Thing 1 and 2 are the twins?
ReplyDeleteHave they ever been in the same class at school? Or do you and Mrs. Ibee prefer different rooms?
Had lots of sets of multiples in the days; that's why I ask?
med school couples together commenting on the small hands of a to-be-famous surgeon.....- his wife says yes, he has such small appendages. multiple rofls before they even existed.
ReplyDeleteI'm imagining the rest of the conversation:
ReplyDeleteThing 2: "On e-bay even"
Thing 1: "Hey yer"
Thing 2: "Let's"
Thing 1: "Sure" ....
Thing 2: "Now where's dad's book on cutting out apendages?"
....
If you notice a sudden interest in surgery from your kids in the near future be worried ....
Dang, I missed out on selling my appendage for a lot of money! I paid someone to take it.

Yes, Thing 1 and Thing 2 are the twins.
ReplyDeleteWe've had them both separate and together in class. Both have advantages and disadvantages.
Is thing 1's name Lorena Bobbit?
ReplyDeleteLast time I was floated to the ER we had 4 appy present within a 6 hr period. The doc calmly stated after #3 that it was appy hour.
ReplyDeleteMay you should keep an eye on your dogs (or tell your Things that dogs don't have appendages) in case they have a surgical brainwave!
ReplyDeleteAre they identical twins? When I was in elementary school we had a set of identical twins. One was really nice, the other was a pain in the butt and I never could tell which one was which until I started talking to them, which was frustrating because half the time I ended up talking to the one who was the pain in the butt! Anyway, I remember in 5th grade they traded classes for the day. The teachers never figured it out. It was pretty funny.
ReplyDeleteGee....and I've always prided myself on having all my parts when I could be selling appendages!
ReplyDeletehahaha - first thing I thought was:
ReplyDelete"new form of birth control" - remove the offending appendage?
oh Gawd...
@Kim, the twins are M/F, so not identical.
ReplyDeleteOh! I thought the boys were the twins!
ReplyDeleteWell to be fair there is a condition called epiploic appendagitis...
ReplyDeleteMy appendages are not for sale, but can be sponsored-like Nascar.
