Looking Like The Bobbsey Twins

It's one of those things you say without even thinking about it: "We look like the Bobbsey Twins" or "They're dressed like the Bobbsey Twins". You older folks who read this blog will probably scoff at my naivete... but finally, last night, it occurred to me that I had not the first clue about who these Bobbsey Twins were exactly. (Or how to spell the name.)

So I looked it up.

Seems the Bobbsey Twins were central to a popular series of childrens' novels that were published from the early 1900's clear up until 1979 or so. You can read all about it here. And don't say our blog never taught you anything.
