Twin Trivia Tuesday

Hello, everyone!  Here is some more Twin Trivia for all you twins out there.  Don't think that being a twin is the worst thing on earth (even though it does seem like it at times); but rather, look at it as an opportunity to be loving, kind, and play some great jokes!  Enjoy this section of Twin Trivia!

Prax: "Hello, we are back in the studio with another episode of Twin Trivia starring Paul and Pricilla Wilder airing live on the Worldwide Broadcasting Network with hosts, Praxton and Prudence Wilder.  Paul and Pricilla, am I correct that you are the first set of twins in your family?"  

Paul: "Thank you, Praxton, and yes, Prici and I are the first set of twins in our family.  Mom and Dad adopted Patrova, our oldest sister, right before we were born."

Prax: "Fascinating.  Were you a surprise or were you expected?" 

Paul: "We were expected.  They knew they were having twins and I think they knew that it was boy and girl too."

Prax: "Good.  Prue?"

Prue: "Thanks, Praxton.  So Pricilla, how was it growing up with Paul?"

Cilla: "Well, it was kinda rough, just because he always wanted the toy I had, or if mom was holding me, he wanted to be held.  So I can't say we started out the best, but we've gotten a ton better than when we were little!"

Prue: "In what way?" 

Cilla: "Well, in every way!  We are best friends, we talk together, we have fun together, and we enjoy each other's company." 

Prue: "That's really nice!  Prax?"

Prax: "So, Paul.  What is the most embarrassing part about being a twin?" 

Paul: "Well, since we aren't identical and we are different genders, we don't get the common name mix-up; but we still get some comments.  For example, that lady at the grocery store.   When we were about six, Cill was in the cart and I was walking a couple feet ahead of the cart..."

Cilla: "More like eight feet in front of the cart!" 

Paul: "Ahem......I was walking a couple feet ahead of the cart and this lady asks mom if we were twins.  Mom said yes, and asked me to come over and stay close to her.  The lady then states that we were so cute and precious and that she would like to take us home with her.  Now that was embarrassing!  Pric started crying and I thought that was the meanest thing for her to say!  Her having the nerve to call Paul Wilder cute!  Precious!  Bah humbug!  Well, she'd get it next time, boy, she'd get it!" 

Prax: "I see.  Prue?"

Prue: "So Pricilla, what is the most embarrassing part for you, about being a twin?"

Cilla: "Well, it would probably be when I'm with my friends and I tell them I'm a twin, and they start giggling and ask who it is and if he's nice to me and if we fight a lot.  So it's just kind of annoying when they ask all those questions." 

Prue: "Interesting."

Prax: "Well, we are out of time for tonight!  This has been a new episode of Twin Trivia starring Paul and Pricilla Wilder airing live on the Worldwide Broadcasting Network.  Thank you, Paul and Pricilla, for your time.  Be sure to and tune in next time for another new episode of Twin Trivia brought to you by your hosts, Praxton and Prudence Wilder.  Thanks for watching!"

Twin Trivia

Before we (Prax and Prue) begin this post, we should give you a little bit of background about the name of this post.
In our family we have two sets of twins: Paul and Pricilla, Pepin and Perdita; and two sets of triplets: Pelle, Pam, and Pheobe, and Piper, Pedro, and Quitie.  Back when no one was married and we only had 21 kids, Paul and Cilla were the family's source of entertainment.  They would sit on the piano bench, and Prax and I would interview them on what it's like to be a twin.  Paul's dream as a kid was to be interviewed and be on TV.  Well, in 2008 he fulfilled his dream.  All of the sports broadcasters were crazy over this Freshman Basketball player from Kansas, who was homeschooled through High school, (woot woot!) and breaking the College Freshman records at UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles)!!!  And Prici?  Well, Pric didn't want to be on TV.  Her dream was to be a missionary and a Marine Biologist and tell people over seas about how wonderful and magnificent God is and how he made every fish in the sea.  Well, in 2014 she fulfilled her dream.  She had her degree as a Marine Biologist as she stepped onto the sand in Townsville, Australia ready to share Gods grace with anyone she met.
But before all this happened...They were sitting on the piano bench in our living room on a chilly night in late March with reporters from the Worldwide Broadcasting Nework. (Prax and I) We would sit on stools beside Paul and Pric with our clipboards and microphones and "headsets" (earbuds) excitedly asking them a long list of questions. (Paul wrote the questions.)
We wanted to give you a little taste of those fun memories that our family shared long ago.  Enjoy!

(Yes, we did use a whisk and a spatula for microphones!) :-) 

Prax: "This is Praxton and Prudence with the Worldwide Broadcasting Network.  We have a new episode of Twin Trivia featuring Paul and Pricilla Wilder.  They are with us in the studio right now!  Paul, am I correct that you and Pricilla are twins, 30 minutes apart?" 

Paul: "Yes, Praxton, Cilla and I have been twins since we were born.  We like being twins...for the most part.  Sometimes it's hard but, we still like it."

Prax: "Can you expend" (I think he meant expound) "Can you expend more on what it's like being a twin?"  

Paul: "Sure.  I mean, we don't share a room, so that saves the trick of her putting a frog in my bed without someone noticing it before I actually get in the bed.  There was one time where she took my favorite pen and put it under her pillow and didn't tell anyone until I messed up her bed.  Then she went and squealed on me to Mom and Dad, telling them it was all my fault.  Well, I stormed in and told Mom and Dad the truth.  They punished us both by making us make each other's beds for a week.  That was the worst punishment of my life.  So humiliating for the best star of basketball." 

Prax: "I see. Prue?" 

Prue: "Pricilla, can you tell us a little bit about how it is being the female gender of this hulabalu?"

Cilla: "Sure.  Well, I'm definitely not the "Tomboy Sister" Paul always talks about wanting, but I do play basketball when Mom tells me to.  I made his bed everyday for a week, so I think he underestimates how much I really do for him.  I  help make dinner for the family and, even though I'm a girl, I still like to play outside with him and our siblings.  I think I can be a good sister without having to be a tomboy." 

Prue: "Nice!"

Prax: "So here's a question for both of you: What is your favorite part about being a twin?"

Paul: "Well, I've really enjoyed being the older twin and even though she's not a boy, she still likes me and plays with me." 

Cilla: "I really enjoy being a twin when I am with my friends and I can tell them that the basketball team that is winning, is winning because my twin brother is playing on it." 

Prue: "Very interesting.  Well, we're out of time for tonight, but thank you Paul and Pricilla for coming in today.  Have a great night!"

Paul: "You bet."

Cilla: "Thank you!" 

Prax: "This has been the Worldwide Broadcasting Network featuring Paul and Pricilla Wilder.  Tune in next time for an other exciting episode tomorrow night at 7:00."
