Dramatic Burritos

My friend Kelly brought up a good question recently- one that I've asked several times myself. Why do some parents find it necessary to give their children names that sound alike? As a part of a conversation on the subject, she said, and I quote, "I don't know why any parents torture themselves by naming their children alike. Ian and Neil, Adam and Alex, Brooke and Brielle, Michael, Matthew, and Mark, Kaylee and Kirsten; my mom's older brother's family even have all the kids' names with J's. Jessica, Jenny, Josh, Jeremiah, Jill, James, Jacob, and the dad is John. How do they manage not calling all of them each others' names? Why do they do this to themselves?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?  My mom has enough trouble with just Brynn and Kelly for crying out loud!"  

Seriously, why? I understand that alliteration is cool and it's cool to have some sort of pattern or something, but doesn't it just get confusing? I'm really good with names and I still think it would be hard to keep track of all those similar names! 

On a slightly related topic, why do people dress their twins the same? I don't understand that mindset. "Our children look the same, so we must dress them the same." I suppose it's cute and all, but it wouldn't help you keep track of which child is which. All the twins I know get annoyed when called by the wrong name, so why make it even more annoying by buying them matching clothes? It just doesn't make sense to me. 

Well, that's about all. 

It's not, actually. I could rant for hours about little things that bug me. Some of you may have noticed. I'm not going to, though. I don't really know the point of a blog (I've probably said this before), but I'm pretty sure it's not for one to complain about every tiny thing one doesn't understand or is frustrated by, so I'm just going to pretend that's all. For the time being, at least. 

P.S. My math teacher said "timesing" instead of multiplying at least seven times today. 

P.P.S Because this post was based on something Kelly brought up, the title is dramatic burritos. Just so's you know.
