... and yet, still far more coherent than any given episode of Nancy Grace.

I saw that on TV this morning. It's hilarious. They're probably discussing who would be the best Phyllis in a Follies revival.

I don't usually care for children that much, but that actually made me smile. Those little boys were so cute. It almost seemed like they were arguing with one another.

Wonderful! The vocal pitch suggests that the more talkative one is asking questions, with the pitch rise at the end of the sentence. And the hand gestures are perfectly coordinated so there is some communication going on. With twins, it may well be they are so similarly wired that this is a secret language between them!

I'm stealing from the comments on the video (which have now been disabled).

"The one with two socks had a good point when he said "DAdaDaDaDA!"

My favorite version of it-

I think the one with one sock wants to be a Rockette and the one with two socks is saying "No you're a boy" and the one with one sock said "talk to the hand".

I think Sondheim should listen to this...it's like a complex Bach counterpoint, and probably has some deep, lyrical verse..Maybe someday they will be the Toast of Bway. A great songwriting team! Their stuff sounds better than anything by Wildhorn already. lol - Great!

I have an identical twin, and my mom has said that he and I used to have conversations in our "twin language"--it's actually fairly common for twins. Once, when I was in fifth grade, this subject came up in a discussion, and I remember someone asking "can you still talk to him like that?", followed by my awkward reply of "no..."

My cousins daughters used to do it all the time too.

This is probably completely geeky that I even remember this, but have any of you read the "Mary Poppins" books? Yes, there's more than one. Actually, four books in all.

Anyway, in one of them, Jane and Michael Banks have twins introduced as additional younger siblings. I remember they have their "twin conversations" very early on in the book. P.L. Travers says, at that point in their lives, they can speak to all animals and everything else alive. And to each other. But not to other human beings. So they talk to birds and cats and plants, etc. They can all communicate together. And it's only as they start to learn English that they forget how to talk in this special language of "nature."

I found it to be very bittersweet and moving. And I've never forgotten it, even though I read those books as a kid. I love the idea of this special, secret language that only babies know. Especially twins, who can share it with each other and all other creatures. And it's sad to watch them outgrow it and lose that magic ability.
