Well, I knew it would happen, I just didn’t think it would be so soon.
I have become a conjoined twin.
The reflection in the steam pitcher doesn’t lie. I got a gander at myself this morning after making Big Norm’s latte and that’s when it became clear. My newly conjoined status. My looming head head. You know, I think it was nice that Norm didn’t comment about it. That all he said was, “Oh, such nice foam!” That he didn’t inquire about the identical human head growing upside down on top of my regular head. He’s a sensitive guy, that Big Norm.
MB, however, started immediately snapping pictures, all proud and excited about the latest addition to the family. Someone else to talk to! Maybe someone better! Just someone who speaks English, for Lord’s sake! Stuff like that.
Unfortunately, I did not share his elation. Neither did my head head. See how glum we are upon learning of the other’s existence? Right after this shot, I downed, like, 137 Ibuprofen.
A few frames later, though, with a little encouraging patter from MB like look at you! so much taller! and hey! no more bad hair days, and well, men won’t stare at your boobs now we lightened up a bit, embracing our cross-eyed double-headed future together.
Now, let’s not get ugly here. Keep your jealousy to yourselves, please.
Technically, it’s envy – we want what you have. You would be jealous in that situation. And believe me, it IS envy. Your wisdom and creativity just sprang from your forehead like Athena from Zeus. I mean, right there in the middle of Boheme! Now you can go to the Overlord and say, “BOTH OF US want to discuss your little artsy fartsy project in the back room,” and what’s he gonna say to either of you?
You’re weird. In the best possible way. This sounds like something Tef and I would do.
NF — BOTH OF US, LOL
i envy your dual American citizenship. oh, to be twice American!
Whoa, watch out for zombies; you’ve got twice the juicy brains now.
You know what scares and delights me the most? The expression on your face in that second photo. You are so smug, so condescending, like: “Yeah, uh-huh, I know, you’re all jealous, just look at me, behold me … mm-hm, yup.”
/behold me … mmm-hm, yup./
Hahahahahaha! It totally looks like that — even with everything stretched out and distorted, I manage to look smug.
Booo-bye, people.
I love the “booo-bye” expression; it has the ability to tell people they suck and to dismiss them at the same time. Devilishly efficacious. 🙂
