Double the Fun

Willis is terrified of identical twins.  He is also deathly afraid of bees and other stinging insects, but I don't find that as funny since I am, too.

A set of identical twins moved into our building a few months ago.  Each time Willis has an encounter with them, he describes it to me like he has seen a ghost (or two ghosts, for that matter).  I realize that it might seem like he is just intrigued with them as most men are with female twins (ahem, we all know what I'm talking about), but that is not the case.  All identical twins spook him out. 

Willis:  "I pulled in at the same time as The Twins.  And GET THIS - they both pulled their cars into a spot, then reversed, then pulled back in THE EXACT SAME WAY AT THE EXACT SAME TIME."

Me:  "Wow.  Cool."

The Twins have apartments right next to each other, and one night a few weeks ago when we were walking by he became sidetracked by their garbage cans which were in the hallway.  (In Tejas, there is something called Trash Valet where each night you just put your garbage can outside of your front door and the trash fairy pays a visit.)  Anyway, Willis stopped dead in his tracks and whispered, "Do you think they have the same exact trash?"  Me:  "We are NOT going through their trash."  It turns out they didn't have the EXACT same trash, but we only got a quick peek before I put the kibosh on digging through our neighbors' garbage.

This is not a picture of the twins who live in our building.

This morning after we walked by their apartment, I got another update. 

Willis:  "I saw Those Twins earlier.  They both had on the exact same outfits and were carrying trash bags which were the exact same size right at their sides the exact same way.  [NOTE: the trash fairy only comes on weeknights - everyone deserves a little time off.]  They even both had sweatshirts tied around their waists.  It was bizarre." 

Me:  "Wow.  Bizarre." 

Willis claims his twin fear stems from The Shining.
