“I am not dressing up as a doctor!”
Twins or no twins, he’d had it with his sister deciding their costumes. He’d been Prince Charming, Prince Un-Charming (consort to Princess Uglyanna). He’d been Mr. Smee. He’d been a screw (guess who was the screwdriver), a nail (yep, Maya was the hammer), a flower (to her bee). And those were the less embarrassing ones.
“You could be an evil doctor imprisoned by an eviler scientist,” she enticed.
“In your dreams,” he replied.
She grinned. “Or in yours. As in, literally. Tonight.”

I wonder if he lets her get away with having the upper hand because of respect for her femininity or because he’s afraid of her. I suspect the latter. 😉 I like your unique take on the prompt. Well done.
Shabbat Shalom,

It looks like she’s in charge. She must be the twin born first. 😂 She could be the evil twin too. Great story

I’m killing myself laughing because I knew a couple (who have since broken up) – she made their costumes each year… one year she was Cruella, he a dalmation; another year she was a fly to his piece of shit… I’m thinking he finally woke up to just what she thought of him….

I loved the details of all the past costumes. I don’t know about embarrassing though. Some of those outfits sound like they caused the poor chap considerable pain.

Well, one can hope that the hammer was a rubber one … 😉 But yeah, I can’t say I find that sister too endearing … And I hope he’d grow a spine. …
