Twins Day Wednesday

(Note: this actually took place last week.)

Today was Twins Day Wednesday.  I don't usually like this day because it's inevitable that someone will be left out and not get to dress up with a friend.  It's often excluding.  I'm usually twins with a girl friend, but this year I was twins with a good guy friend of mine.  What's hilarious about it is the fact that we don't look anything alike... I am a 5'1 and white.  He is a 6'5 and black.  And then there's the gender difference on top of everything else.

We were salt and pepper.  It was a ton of fun to see everyone's reactions when they found out we were "twins".

I think the coolest outfits of the day were from two of my best friends, Rebekah and Rebecca.  (They're made to be twins, right?  They even have the same names.)  They dressed up as two human bathtubs.  It must have taken them forever to make those costumes, but it was worth it.

Rebekah and I went to United for lunch, and it was so much fun to see everyone's reactions as she went through the buffet line.  When she walked by, people would do double-takes and then burst into laughter.  Rebekah told the cashier, "It's Spirit Week at my school.  I don't usually dress up as a bathtub."

"Oh," was the cashier's befuddled response.

It was also fun to watch Rebekah bump into tables and try to squeeze through doors.  Several people said that she made their day.

While I wasn't that extravagantly dressed, and without Zeek nearby, you wouldn't get how funny my costume was, it was the highlight of my day to see Rebekah in her costume walking through the grocery store with everyone's eyes glued on her.  When we walked through the parking lot, she literally stopped traffic.
