10/09: Awesome simile!
I had to pull these two paragraphs out of an email I just sent and preserve them here for sheer awesomeness.
"Have you determined you are having twins yet? I know that second one's been ducking the ultrasounds and is lurking behind a rock or in an attic like Helen Keller*. I would like to think it is more like an illegal immigrant crossing the border at night with US Predator Drones keeping watch. Gotta hide that heat signature!
Let that analogy play out in your head. I think it's worth a short story. Write it up! Stat. I would myself, but I am not sure if I am fully qualified nor the appropriate person to present a detailed story comparing your hidden twin child's evasion tactics in your wife's.. womb... to illegal Mexican Immigrants crossing the US borders with Predator Drones on the hunt for them."
