My daughter, Sophie, had been talking non-stop about her new friend, Sandra, all week. Naturally, I was curious to meet this girl who had become such a big part of Sophie's life. So, I decided to call Sandra's mom to arrange a playdate.
We agreed to meet up at McDonald's. When Sandra and her mother, Wendy, walked in, my jaw nearly hit the floor.
Wendy's reaction was just as shocked as mine when she saw Sophie. "OH MY GOD, THEY REALLY DO LOOK LIKE TWINS!" Wendy exclaimed. The girls, oblivious to our amazement, ran off to the playground, leaving us to talk.
"Hello, I'm Henry. It's nice to meet you," I said, shaking Wendy's hand.
She smiled and echoed my greeting. "Wow, I just can't believe it. I've read about carbon copies, but this has to be something else," Wendy commented as we watched the girls play.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN!?" I asked, puzzled.
"Well," Wendy began, lowering her voice slightly, "Sandra doesn't know this yet, but I adopted her."👇
