Personality Flips

Dear Noah and Dylan.

     Yesterday was a good example of how you two constantly switch roles.  Dylan was the bully this time.  I stood there watching as he whacked Scout, the dog visiting, with a swimming noodle.   Then Noah was the one crying to Daddy because Dylan wouldn't pass the basketball to him.   But, Dylan still had me in stitches..dribbling with his exaggerated fancy footwork.  Also, Dylan remembered the names of our neighbor.  He saw Shudee on his bike and asked if it were Shifeng.  Let's see, what else...Dylan threw a rock off the deck and it hit my car and of course told me he didn't know when I asked him what happened.
     Kim Armstrong came over to interview you both for her graduate course, gave you finger puppets to try to get you guys to talk but it was more of an excuse for you both to act like two goons, sticking the chipmunk puppet down my shirt and up Kim's shorts.  Yup, a regular Jim Carrey.  Finally we had to divide and conquer you.   I left Dylan in the interview and made Noah come downstairs with me.  And Noah was the unusually affectionate one yesterday!  And he was the first to kiss me goodbye!
