The Trouble with Rob

I went to the Burlington Farmer’s Market with a few friends. And who did we happen upon but our coworker, Rob W. Carolyn spotted him first and she said to me, “Did you say Hi to Rob?” That’s when I saw him standing there, non-chalantly chatting with people I don’t know.

So I playfully drove Cole, and his stroller, into his leg. He looked up. Our eyes met. I was waiting, expecting a joyful look of recognition on his face. He kept looking at me expectantly. A moment passed. And then another.

I looked at Carolyn. She was suddenly walking away. What could I do? I followed her. We fled.

That’s when I remembered.

Rob has a twin brother.
