Yup. That’s Spencer at 12 dressed as Jimi Hendrix at L. J. Schultz Middle School in Cape Girardeau, MO. As a class project we were asked to dress up as one of our personal heros and present on their accomplishments. Spencer chose shredmaster Jimi Hendrix. As the nerdiest child ever, I chose puritanical author Louisa May Alcott. Happily, no pictures of me have surfaced.

This comparison seems a telling response to the question we often get: “so, if you’re twins, are you, like, the same?”
