My brother was two years older than me and I really looked up to him. No matching outfits, but here we were both using matching trolleys as we learned to walk, phone books used to give them some weight. My brother had developmental delays and epilepsy and was wearing a footy helmet to protect his head in case he fell or had a seizure. I think if I had been given a matching one I would have loved it!

My grandmother called and was speaking to us both. Yes, I recall how heavy that phone was. And this is Christmas time because of the sweaters. We aren’t twins (13 months apart). Mom dressed us similarly a lot then (the mid-1970s).
