I said they were cousins, the same parents were their grandparents….

My guess was that this was based on the whole “man gets pregnant” news story, and that both the man and the woman were pregnant. Occam’s Razor in action!

“‘Chesnut! Chesnut!’ he said, gnashing his teeth … ”

I think I got the Hobbit quote right. Anyway: They’re two of a set of triplets (or other multiple birth larger than twins).

I missed the 3rd one’s name…thought it might be Susy…

Hmmm. I was thinking that Jon and Don might be houseflies, two of hundreds of baby houseflies born that day. Which wouldn’t speak well of the hospital, now, would it? (And why would they even have names in the first place?)

Amy, I was going with the lesbians angle, too… looks like we both need to brush up on our Occam’s Razor…

But what if they were born nine months apart on the same date (say the 15th) of the same year, but different months? Many a mother who thought breast feeding would protect her from getting pregnant and found out nine months later that it didn’t, can vouch for this one. Not to single out any nationality, or belittle anyone, but I believe they used to call this Irish Twins.

Not only did I guess the triplets angle, I even went with Ron for the third!
