If I Could Quintuplicate Myself

Forget cloning. That is only one, right? I want to quintuplicate myself. If I could quintuplicate myself, we would call ourselves The Mighty Six. We would have all the same ideas, life experiences, and feelings. We could split up, going to different countries, to get acquainted with diverse cultures Or we could sit around on a plush sectional with pillows, shaking our heads in rapid succession, agreeing on everything. I see The Mighty Six annoying my relatives at Christmas, playing harmless silly tricks on them. Fooling them, two grandchildren each on each of our laps. Could anyone figure out who the original me is? We would all refuse to tell, right? And we would all refuse to cook and clean. We would give out no clues, the Mighty Six, united, and snotty. I sit back and smile, imagining the glory and the fun of quintuplicating myself. Dream-work ready, I close my eyes and begin to plot.

I am always plotting Kim, that is right. But wouldn't it be fun with people who all AGREE with me?

:) This is cute and clever. Hmm, I think I shall stay me. No cloning, making more. I am sure you could handle all of this though- maybe. Lol. This made me smile. :) Brandy

Thank you Brandy. I had to entertain myself today all day without an internet at work. Our entire system was down and it was horrific.
