James Reedy's Stories
Jim's story was about his Grandfather, James Roland Reedy and his grandfather's identical twin, Edward Napoleon (known as Roly and Poly to their family):
He described these two men as being so alike that even their grandchildren couldn't tell them apart. One time, Jim's sister, Joanne, ran up to her "Grampa", and gave him a big hug, as she always did. As she was hugging him, she looked around and there was Grampa - across the room. She was totally confused as to how there were two Grampas. Then she was scared - how did 2 Grampas get into the same room?
As I was growing up, I used to try and convince my parents, when I did something bad that it wasn't really me - it was the other "Jim" who did it. I never was able to sell that story.
