How old are you?
24. Yes, really. No, its ok, I understand that that's hilarious because 1984 is the year you started middle school/finished HS/came home from your mission/etc.
Doesn't going barefoot hurt your feet?
No. Think logically here--unless you think I'm a masochist (and only a few of you do), why on earth would I persist in a behavior that was painful? I like feeling the dirt or grass under my feet, I tend to have more careful and surer footing on uneven ground, and my feet hate being hot and cramped in shoes.
Is Dylan always like that?
Yeah, pretty much.
Do you always talk like that?
No. I almost never talk like that. I write like that and had everything I said written down. In conversation, I generally use only half my vocabulary and very little real emotion, I giggle too frequently and for no good reason, and I don't think--or rather, express--on my feet very well.
Where do your kids get their red hair?
From the recessive genes carried by both myself and my husband. I don't have time to go over the basic genetics, but trust me, they're in there.
Is your family Catholic?
No. My family is LDS for multiple generations on most lines, though they have struggled with inactivity, which I occasionally imply. Any comments from my husband about my mother being Catholic or being raised Catholic should be dismissed as the silly jokes that they are.
Wouldn't it be cool if you had twins?
Don't make me slap you.
Are you and your brother identical or fraternal twins?
Identical twins are just that--genetically identical. I know this is a difficult concept, so pay attention. Michael and I have at least one HUGE genetic difference: he is male and I am female. We are from two different eggs and two different sperm. Identical twins are from one fertilized egg that splits, therefore making it impossible for there to be both X and Y chromosomes. While Michael certainly holds a special place in my heart, we are no more genetically alike than any of the rest of my siblings (actually less genetically alike than my sisters and I).
Isn't all that hair hard to take care of?
No. I have long hair largely due to tress laziness. I wash it, I brush it and I leave it alone. I may braid it or put it in a pony tail. I don't have to style it on a daily basis or maintain a haircut.
Can I see your phone?
Sure.

Haha! I miss you and your fun, frank sense of humor/frankness. And you miss me for my grammar, right?
hahah My favorite is the twin question. Both of them! I never thought I would end up with so may twin siblings and I forget sometimes that you are, but after having lived with Courtni and Brittni and Adam and Andrew... Hahaha don't make me slap you is totally an understood reply (from a non-twin perspective anyway)!
HAHAHAHAHA!! Oh man! That's pretty sad! Identical twins??!! WOW! It's probably not very nice of me to laugh so hard because there are obviously quite a few out there that don't understand the concept of identical/fraternal twins if it's one of your FAQs, but WOW! That one had me rolling!
And AMEN to the bare feet question/answer! I hate shoes! (As evidenced by the fact that I frequently wear flip-flops in the snow!) ;)
AND congratulations on the progress made in your home. Thanks to Mom & Chuck, I, too, have made significant progress on getting my house cleaned, organized and looking better so I understand the thrill of getting things the way you want them! The "black hole" (as I like to call it--the spare room) is actually somewhat clean looking and since Mom left, I've actually gotten a lot of papers filed which is HUGE! YAY!
