I literally laughed out loud when I read that part of Tom's journal.
Dopey. Having sex. With a penguin.
Priceless.
What would Snow White have said?
Will and Tom, and their relationship altogether, made me think about a good friend of mine. She is an identical twin who grew up in her sister's shadow in every way possible. Nothing she ever did compared to her sister's long list of achievements and accolades. She was forever runner up, even though she was born a minute earlier.
I could never imagine having a twin, nor do I think the world would have been ready for something like that in 1981. I was trouble enough without a mirror image of my psychotic self.
Having a twin does come in handy, no doubt. The girl to whom I'm referring is actually getting married in a few months. Any normal girl would try on her dresses and choose her favorite, you know, the one she has dreamed about her entire life. Well, my friend is a special case.
When she goes this weekend to look for a wedding gown, her twin sister is actually wearing the dresses for her, so she can have a better view of what she'll look like walking down the aisle.
Tom, by giving his life for the sake of his brother, and practically saving his brother's marriage, did everything short of trying on gowns for him.
That pervert probably would have.
