Weekly Photo Challenge: Arranged – USA
As a mother of twins I can speak from two and a half years of experience about nature vs. nurture. I’ve watched two children born of the same womb, raised and nurtured in exactly the same manner, form into two completely different human beings. One trait passed down from me to my daughter is an exacting tendency to be very precise. In this photo, she is taking crayons one-by-one and arranging them next to each other in a straight row, taking pains to adjust each one so that they are as level with the other as possible. For a two-year old, this takes quite some time to do and I have a video to prove it. On the other hand, my son can concentrate on how the wheels of a toy car works for a surprisingly long stretch, but he has nothing to do with putting things away or how they are arranged. In fact, he prefers to throw everything into the air and leave things where they land. We definitely did not nurture him to do this!

I am a twin, and I know you must have your hands full! Crayons help!
Oh wow! Are you an identical or fraternal twin?
I have a twin brother–definitely not identical! We were Number 5 and 6 of 7 children, but I don’t know how anyone could manage with twins. I had my two kids four years apart, and that was just about right for me! Best wishes, Naomi
The beginning of why men are from Mars and women are from Venus?
For sure! They’re living proof!
I can almost “see” your daughter arranging those crayons. So sweet.
Your little boy has the male gene for sure… most boys are not known to be very neat. (Sorry for stereotyping.) 🙂
Enjoyed your photo!
Thanks Lidia. I think the stereotype is 99% true which makes it practically a fact!
This is so true – twins can be so different! I think the only thing I have in common with my twin is the same birthday.
Great to meet other twins! Thanks for stopping by.
neatly arranged
