The twins are in bed, but aren’t sleeping yet. I march upstairs ready to yell ask them calmly to settle down, but they are chatting away so nicely that I decide to take a pew on a stair and listen to their conversation. Ez has a stack of Maisie books in her bed, and is reading them to her ‘bruvva Fonz.’
Ez: Read that one now [Maisie Dresses Up]? Ok… It’s make a special costume time. It’s zebra. Hello Maisie! The End.
Fonz: Yay! Well done Ez. Now I wanna go a sleep.
Ez: No!
Fonz: Yes, I’m rilly tired.
Ez: No Fonz, you’re no tired.
Fonz: Oh.
Ez: You’re hungry.
Fonz: Oh.
Ez: I read shopping book now [Maisie Goes Shopping]. There’s no more food. I need food. Go shopping. Buy bread. Theeee End!
Fonz: I just lie down and get special stickers Ez? [The twins get a reward sticker for staying in bed all night]
Ez: There are no special stickers Fonz.
[to herself as she leafs through all the book] I don’ like tht one. I don’ like that one. I don’ like that one. There’s no more reading now. Move back and leave my circle now. [no idea what this means].
[pause]
Ez: I not be happy.
Fonz: Ez sad?
Ez: No.
Fonz: Ez happy?
Ez: No. I crossed.
Fonz: Ez cross?
Ez: Yes. Because look! Is all the mess. It made it very sad. My mummy is crossed.
Fonz: No, my mummy is happy.
Ez: No mummy is crossed because the books is not sitting very well.
Fonz: I need to put soap on my hands?
Ez: Put water and soap because I been the farm.
Fonz: I not been a farm.
Ez: Where’s a been to? What’s a been to?
Fonz: I beeeeeeeeeeen… I beeeeeeeeeen… a Welly park [Wellington Country Park].

I love it. I think circle time is something they might have a nursery for group reading. At Preschool they had carpet time, which was the same thing.
That is absolutely lovely!
Made me feel all warm & fuzzy
I love your Twin Peaks H and this is a classic, what a pair!
I HATE it when people won’t leave my circle
Lovely post, and lovely sounding kids!
That has made me laugh out loud – love it!
Bless their little cotton socks, they’re so cute together, makes me want to have twins.
super cute! my two constantly natter for hours, I just leave them too it as long as they stay upstairs I dont care!
I love this love it x
So so cute!
Oh my that is truly brilliant! I can’t wait for mine to converse like that. Their speech is coming on now so I am sure I will understand them soon!
Thanks for joining in the Multiple Mayhem carnival!
Thanks for putting the carnival together! I think the chat is definitely one of the best things about having twins.
[...] from Young and Younger links into the brilliance of having twins theme by providing us with Twins Peaks Post that reveals the in-depth and very funny conversation between her two twins Ez and Fonz when trying [...]
They sound like such characters. Can’t believe you remembered all that to write! Made me giggle to read, did yours babble in their own language before they spoke? Mine did this for months before anyone else could understand them!
I sat outside their bedroom with my laptop, tapping as they talked! The advantage of being able to touch type at super speed! I don’t think they ever did have their own language…
Aw cute! I can’t wait for mine to start talking. Mind you, if it’s anything like my older two, the trick will be getting them to shut the hell up. Your twins sound like they keep each other company superbly.
Oh yes, if someone could invent an ‘off’ switch that would be fantastic!
