[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]George and Mary[/quote]

You decided to name your daughter Mary in college after meeting your English Literature professor, who was named Mary and who loved Chaucer.  You had never met such an elegant woman as Dr. X, and while nobody would ever have dared to address the professor as Mary, you started to build up quite the mythology around the professor in your mind, and since she was the only person you had ever met named Mary, you came to associate the name with the lovely, elegant, whip-smart professor with the perfect little heart face, red lipstick, and unruly lion's mane of hair.  Mary. You would one day name your daughter Mary, you decided, and you did.  Your own Mary, who is now 17, looks eerily like her professor namesake, except your Mary is something of a math prodigy.  She's been accepted to MIT, and you are bursting with pride, but also with frustration.  This weekend you had to take Mary's bedroom door off its hinges after catching her with her boyfriend, Paris, in her room once again.  Paris is a nice boy, but he and Mary are far more serious and intense in their relationship than you think is healthy at this point.  Also, he's going to a less prestigious state school and you are sure the relationship will fizzle out soon enough.

George is Mary's Irish twin, just 11 months younger than his sister, and everybody says he's the handsomest teen boy they've ever seen.  He's tall and well-built and has improbably clear skin for his age, and his blue eyes are strikingly icy with thick dark lashes.  George is a math prodigy like his sister, and you secretly die a little inside each time your husbands asserts that George is "just a little bit Asperger-y", though you know what he means.  George has three good friends, though, and the boys have a 48 hour video game tournament at your house every weekend you allow it.  So far he hasn't dated, but you know girls have crushes on him because Mary keeps you informed.

Your husband Luther is an electric engineer from Cleveland, and he did his doctorate at Case Western.  He wants to move back to the midwest to be close to family, and so far you have resisted, but recently you have begun to wonder if maybe you should reconsider.  Luther's 3 siblings and their spouses live in Shaker Heights, and you are particularly close to his sister, Susan.  You sometimes fantasize about living near Susan, staying at home, and working on your tennis serve at the club.  Big law has been quite the trip, but you are ready to focus a little more on you.[/quote]

Please tell me you write books and where I can buy them.[/quote]
+1 I get giddy every time I see this thread bumped because PP is my all-time favorite poster ever.

My kids are Anna, Elsa, and Claire. (FWIW Anna was born in 2008 and Elsa 2010, so I promise we were not inspired by Frozen!)[/quote]
