Twins

Most of the people that read our blogs probably know by now that DUSTY DEVOE and I are twins! I am the "OLDEST!" I was born a hour and thirteen minutes before DUSTY DEVOE! That is actually a big time space for twins, it is usually only minutes.


I work with a lady who is from West Africa and we were talking about twins the other day. In her country the first one born would be called "TAIYE" short for "TAIWO." The second one born would be called"KENNY," short for "KEHINDE."

But the funny thing is that in her country, the second one born is the oldest! They say that the second , ( the oldest) pushes the first, (the youngest) out so that they can check and make sure everything is ok for them to come out!
So, " DUSTY DEVOE," in one country I would be younger than you!

  1. How interesting what they say in Africa!
    I have now figured out who my mom is! I remember when I was young, I'd go up to you and think you were my mom!

  3. Who wants to take the plunge and say who looks older? HEE HEE?! Personally, as the daughter of a cowgirls grace, I am blessed to have such a young looking mother...I can only hope the genes run in the family.
