Sometimes we wake up too early in the
morning, and we have found that putting on the television is not a great idea. I
am fortunate that Barry finds us all sorts of interesting podcasts, and this
morning we listened to a fascinating story. Of course, the story was a bit too
fascinating in that it did not serve the purpose of helping us return to sleep!
It is the true story of two identical
twin brothers, Farrell Randal "Randy" Sklar and Jason Nathan Sklar, born
January 12, 1972. The two boys were so alike that even their parents could not
reliably tell them apart, so their mother took to using color-coded diaper
pins. This worked well until she took them to the doctor for a routine visit,
and while she was not with them, the nurses replaced their cloth diapers with
disposables, dutifully returning the four diaper pins to their mother. For the next
40 years she was never 100% certain that she had correctly identified her two
sons. The story here tells of how the family was recently able to solve the
mystery, but I do not want to divulge the ending because it is such a fun experience
to walk through this with them.
As adults, the two brothers are comedians. You can read about them here:
I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did.
Love,
Rebecca
