1909

picture it, brooklyn, 2022. two freakish wonder twins meet up for a random fun-filled monday and tuesday. in the morning, FWT dorothy has a meeting with her group, in which she discusses a molecule labeled "1909"... something she hasn't discussed in a long time. Later that same day, she visits FWT toyoko in her hotel, and toyoko is staying in ROOM 1909!!! coincidence.. or freakish wonder twin occurence?

BV

FTW toyoko has been obsessed with salad with balsamic vinegar dressing. She texted FWT dorothy that she's been really into salad with BV dressing, even though she hasn't been into BV for years.. and that she was thinking about the old days when they were obsessed with BV and had a giant costco sized jug of it. FWT dorothy randomly had BV the night before, even though she hasn't touched it in months!

like water for tofu

fwt toyoko, feeling bummed out one day, decides to lift her spirits in the usual way: cooking*! she mentions to fwt dorothy that she feels like the protaganist in the book "like water for chocolate", who expresses herself through her cooking. apparently, dorothy had just talked about the book a couple days prior! neither of us has read the book for more than a decade...

the dolly connection

picture it. two wondertwins, freakish in their psychic connection, separated by an ocean. one in new york city, the other in geneva.

one evening fwt T listens to her latest ipod import: some dolly parton tunes.. part of a vast collection of new tunes that her fwt D had sent weeks ago.

just an hour or so later, fwt D emails to inquire how the dolly tunes were going. she is also wearing a dolly parton T shirt.

coincidence? we think not. freakish wondertwin occurance? we think so.

hath there ever been a hotter pair of freakish wonder twins?

thank you for being a friend

picture it. new york and geneva, 2007. two freakish wonder twins on two different continents independently discuss don cheadle in "the golden girls" spinoff show, "the golden palace", in the same week. coincidence? i think not.
