"If  I  Had  A Twin"
by
Gretchen
Grade 7
PJ Jacobs Junior High

If I had a twin I would name her Greta, because my name is Gretchen.  And it kinda matches.

I would be able to clap her here and clap her to leave.  I would have a special clapping code.  I would never tell anyone the code.  It could always change.  Some times we would dress alike.  We would like to wear jeans and our ice skating sweat shirts.  and we would never dress different because then we could never fool anyone.  I would still like to have my little sister Janet.  No one would know about her.  Not even my parents.

Some times we would fool our teachers and switch classes.  Because she likes social studies and I don't.  If I had a problem with my home work she would be there for me.  We would never get caught.  Because if I clapped her to come to me I would know if any one was around.  I could put her in one of my classes, and while she is in there I could be invisible.  My twin, Greta, would always listen to me when I had to talk to her about something or if I had a problem I could tell her everything.  Some times we would go spying together.  We would spy in the library on people talking.  We would watch movies together.  And our most favorite thing to do together would be to go ice skating together.  We would pretend to be pair skaters.
