Much of my pleasure in life over the last 45 years has come from my identical twin daughters, Joy and Jan. They looked so much alike the day I brought them home from the hospital, I had to paint Jan’s fingernail red to avoid mixing the two of them up. After all, I didn’t want to make the mistake of feeding one once, while the other was left hungry. Throughout their lives my twins looked so much alike that people have always had trouble telling them apart. This enabled them to play tricks on people. Once when they were in second grade, they switched classes on April Fool’s Day. Jan had to take a spelling test for Joy, and Joy was mad at Jan for missing a word that Joy knew how to spell. Once when my twins were 14 years old, Joy did what so many other people had done to the twins all of their lives: she mixed the two of them up. But how is it possible that one twin could get herself mixed up with the other Grill & Cantina twin? It happened like this: AuAutthentichentic FFreshresh MMadeade MMexicanexican FFoodood One day I had taken my twins shopping at the May Company.
