The Second Me

By Molly Grinnan

Carter

Hi! I’m Carter! I love my brother more than

anything.. My mommy says we are special

because we look exactly alike! She calls us twins!

I love my brother, Kyle, but sometimes we have

problems.

Kyle

I’m Kyle! My brother, Carter, is my best

friend, but we are special because we look

the same! It’s like looking into a mirror!

Mommy says we are special, and that’s why

we look alike. I love my brother, but

sometimes things aren't always fun.

Carter

I love going to the park and going on the swings, but Kyle doesn't like the swings, he doesn't like the park at all!

Kyle

I like to stay home and eat snacks, but Carter always wants to go outside. I like watching TV, I don't understand why he thinks being outside is so fun.

Carter

I like race cars a lot! All of them are awesome! Playing with my cars is the best.

Kyle

I like motorcycles! They're so much cooler than Carter’s cars. Motorcycles get really shiny and can drive really fast.

Carter

Kyle is very different from me but we have a

lot in common too ! Like we usually have

the same thing for breakfast. Chocolate

chip waffles. They're so yummy!

Kyle

Carter always eats the same breakfast as me, waffles with chocolate chippies! I always pour my own syrup.

Carter

On Friday nights, Mommy takes us to the bowling alley, we play games and we always have tons of fun!

Kyle

Fridays we go with Mommy to the bowling alley and win prizes and look at all the flashing lights! We have the best time!

Carter

For Christmas this year, Santa brought me a new toy! It lights up and spins and looks like a magic wand! Kyle didn't get the same toy as me, and I felt bad. He did get a really cool toy, but I like when we are always the same.

Kyle

For Christmas I got a really fun snowman, it sang and lit up! He was so funny! Carter got a light up toy too, but it wasn't the same as mine, I like when we are the same.

Carter I love spending Christmas with Kyle and

mommy! Mommy always likes to dress up. She takes us outside with our matching coats too! I love looking like my brother!

Kyle

Christmas is always the best in my house,

Carter always matches me! Mommy makes

dinner and puts on pretty lipstick, and

then we get to take pictures!

Carter

I remember when we all went to the beach

and Kyle thought we should make sand

castles. We had our matching trunks on,

too. I really love my brother!

Kyle

Mommy got me mixed up with Carter when we were at the beach! I hate when she thinks I’m Kyle. We still had tons of fun at the beach!

Carter

No matter what I love my brother. When I see him it’s like looking in a mirror, it’s so cool!

Kyle

I love my brother. He is my mirror. I love seeing another me everyday.
