THE TWINS
In my early teen stage, I wasn't privileged to live with my parents because of our condition, I was sent to live with mum's friend, She was married with 4 kids, 3 boys and a girl. Her first issue was the Twins, Very identical, Lovely, handsome, troublesome, annoying, very greedy and lazy.
All these qualities came with a story that kept us rolling on the ground each time we remembered them.
VERY IDENTICAL
The twins were so identical that the very first day I came to their house I thought I saw one person with two different clothes.
At the entrance of their house I was welcomed by one of the twins who opened the gate and ushered me into the compound when I got to the main entrance of their building I knocked, same face, same stature, same height and same smile opened the door for me but this particular individual was wearing a different cloth. Wowww, I turned back with speed to be sure no spirit opened the gate for me because I was sure he didn't follow me. My gentle man at the door(so I thought) smiled at me and said he's my twin brother.
Wooooh I opened my mouth, I have never seen twins so identical as these two. My gentle man at the door touched me to close my mouth, in his words "you would do a lot of that mouth opening later". I didn't understand the speech until after a month of living with them. In this one month there was indeed a lot of mouth opening.
The twins which I later got to know as Kennedy and Kenneth (They call themselves "Double Ken" but in reality it was "Double Cane"
These twins have a way of using their identical nature to deceive people including their parents especially their father who I think haven't been observant enough to fish out a difference between them. On every occasion the man is always having trouble recognizing who he gave either his car key to keep, his shoe to clean, his suit to hang, his boxer to wash etc. Whenever he needs any of these items you keep hearing No Daddy you gave your shoes to Kendy to clean Kendy will say no you gave to Kenneth and then my name will be mentioned to help find the "Missing item". Same thing when it comes to eatable stuffs one of them or will I say two of them will always pull a trick and you will ended up giving them more than required in the name of it wasn't me you gave to was the other twin, this the kind stories we expect every time. For me, to avoid them cheating me or me cheating them I call the two together before sharing anything to avoid stories that touches the heart
One fateful day, their identical prank cup was full in fact overflowing.
One of the Twins went outside and looked for trouble, came back and entered inside the room pretending to be sick so he won't be sent on an errand outside the compound. The other twin was so unfortunate that day was sent to go buy something and by the time he returned he came back with lots of bruises. Everyone was surprised asking him what happened. He said he was ambushed by some guys who started beating him without no reason. The other twin came out immediately and started laughing so hard rolling himself on the floor,he was like..... Guy nah you collect my beating hahaha come and see another round of world war 2 among the two.
At this point we didn't know whether to laugh or separate the fight....
THEIR HANDSOME NATURE
Even as teens the twins were so cute, charming and handsome of course a lot of girls were crushing on them. ( If only these girls know). Each time they come back from school you keep hearing stories of how some girls were fighting over them. In my mind I would like to see these small children. What did they know about Love.
One day a report came from their school that one of them was caught kissing a girl from his class. Now the principal wasn't sure of which twin in particular because the real dealer escaped. So the report came as one of the Twins.
That evening their mum called them both for questioning to know who actually did it. But you already know the Twins, none of them agreed to the accusation, so they two had to pay for the sin of one. Their mum flogged them so furiously and the dad also when he came back gave them his own portion of hot tea. I and the other siblings became Consolers of the brethren that night... All of a sudden one of the twins broke out into a very big laughter, and said "OMG payback dey sweet ooo If you do me I do you man no go vex" we ended up separating another world war 3 that night.
