Long Island City, Queens, 1950. My father is the twin on the right. He remembers the hats as being yellow. One great/ hard thing about being a twin in the Barron family was that they had to dress exactly alike until they were something like 13. When one child got dirty, they were both required to change.
I think it's cute to dress twins alike, but not until they're thirteen and I definitely draw the line at changing clothes on a clean child.
ReplyDeleteIt probably was a LOT of work as back then they discouraged breastfeeding and sterilising bottles and preparing formula the way they did in the old days would take about forever.
