Happy Father's Day!

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.

      It 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.
