Wednesday Witterings



Do any of you remember the Bobbsey Twins, or am I seriously dating myself?  

As I was making these two, I couldn't help but be reminded of them - I really loved those books when I was a little girl...




and they made me desperately want a fraternal twin! (I didn't like Flossie and Fred much though, so I was glad to not have a younger set.)

I pretty much had a fraternal twin though, given one of my brothers is 9 months and 8 days older than I am.  (Don't freak out, we're adopted! lol) But we were pretty darn close...

Still, not a twin!




However, I guess these two are a post-modern version of Nan and Bert - given that they're a: Black, and b: have something very different to say than Nan and Bert might have!

Wanna know what they have to say?  Come back on Friday!

See you then...

  2. I have never heard of the Bobbsey Twins - I think we had Topsy and Tim instead!! Its not so much a generational thing as an Atlantic thing? All that water between us?

    Not only do I remeber the Bobbsey twin but, like you, I desparately wanted to be a twin! And, yes, I did like Nan and Bert much better than Freddie and Flossie. (Flossie always reminded me a bit of Amy in Little Women and I wasn't fond of her, either!)

  8. Loved those books! Discovered to my pure joy that our neighbours at the cottage had the entire set (at the time -- ca. 1960) and I read 'em all in a single summer. Kinda identified with Nan (dark hair, heaven knows what else!)...Wonder what your twins will say!
