Discussion About Twins

My guilty pleasure when I get up on Saturday mornings is to turn on the Soap channel and watch reruns of Beverly Hills 90210. I admit it.

This past Saturday, I had it on in the gameroom as I was getting ready to go and get my nails done. Mark comes up from the kitchen with his requisite cup of coffee and....

Him: So, this is that 90210 show, right?

Me: Yes. DON'T make a rude comment.

Him: I won't.

Me: Yeah, right

Approx 2 mins elapse

Him: Hey, that's that Brandon guy, right?

Me: Yes.

Him: Did he ever get it on with that chick?

(Note, he was pointing to Shannon Doherty , who played his SISTER)

Me: No. Ick. That's his sister.

Him: Nu-uh

Me: Well, not in real life.

Him: I know THAT. They don't even look alike.

Me: They are twins

Him: They are NOT.

Me: Yes, they are. On the show. They are twins.

Him: But twins are supposed to look alike.

Me: They are fraternal twins. They are boy and girl - there is NO way for them to be identical twins.

Him: Shouldn't they look alike?

Me: Mark. This is a TV show. They are separate people. They are not even related.

Him: But they are twins.

Me: MARK.... PLEASE.... The characters are fraternal twins. You know, separate babies, separate everything.

Him: So its like a two-for-one thing?

Me: Yes, it's like Payless. Buy one, get one.

Him: Oh, ok.

shannon's eyes are noticeably uneven on her face. have you noticed? what do you suppose that is caused by? it's freakier than sleeping with one's fraternal twin.
