Opposites
My kids are the opposites
An adult Triangle-person is asking two Triangle-kids while holding a slice of toast and a knife: “What sandwich would you like?” The girl responds: “Ham!”, while waving a leg of ham, and the boy responds: “Cheese!”, while waving a wedge of cheese with holes.
The adult Triangle-person is asking two Triangle-kids: “Which way should we go?” while standing in front of a fork in the road. The two ways are sign-posted “left” and “right.” The girl shouts “Left!”, while the boy shouts “Right!”
The adult Triangle-person is asking two Triangle-kids: “What animal should we adopt?” The girl sits next to a small black dog and responds “Dog!” and the boy sits next to a small stripey cat and responds “Cat!”
And then one day…
The adult Triangle-person is asking while holding a slice of toast and a knife: “What sandwich would you like?” Both kids hold together two jars and together yell out: “One with jam, one with Nutella!”
On the next image, the adult Triangle looks shocked and amazed, with gapin mouth and eyes wide open. The kids look at each other smiling pleasantly.
On the next image, the girl says “But I want Nutella first”, while the boy simultaneously says “But I want jam first”. The Triangle-adult falls on their back, the knife and bread fall from their hand, their tongue is lolling, and their eyes are replaced with “X"es.
It’s partly a sibling thing, but the characters are genuinely different too. It’s so reliable, that it’s sufficient to ask one person about their preference to know what the other person will want.
Also, for Kiwi readers please replace “Nutella” with “Marmite”.
