A fathers conversation with his twin fetus sons.
"Hello son are you in there? I know you are a boy we don't need any ultrasound to prove that. Tell me you are a boy. Hello Lamar II, are you in there?"

"Hi dad, how are you."

"Hello dad."

"Hey did you just answer me?"

"Yes dad."

"Yes dad."

"Is it you, do I have a son?"

"No dad, you have 2 sons."

"Get outta here! There are 2 of you in there. I knew Teresa was getting big."

"Yes sir dad, we are both in here waiting on the big day."

"Wow, this in incredible, mom always said twins skip a generation and since Grandad was a twin one of us were going to have twins and Ginny, Lex and Dirk already had kids so it was likely to be me. She said she had a dream about it."

"Yea, I told grandma that."

"I always knew she was right and there would be a Lamar II but I always wondered what I would name a twin. So, the first one out, will be Lamar II but I am not sure what to call the other one."

"What to call the other one? I don't mind being second but I hope you do better than that dad."

"Okay okay I am just saying I only have one name picked out."

"I hope you figure it out quick and stop talking about me like I am not a person."

"The only other name to make sense is Lamont after my cuz."

"Hold on dad isn't Mont in jail, right now?"

"Yes, he is in jail how did you know that?"

"Dad why wouldn't we know it, we are right here? Besides, when isn't he in jail? Ha ha."

"Ha ha good one Bro."

"Boys, you know it's been Lamar and Lamont all of my life until he started doing what he does.
Shoot, I don't want to pay for his sins, give me a name that I can be proud of and make something of instead of starting me off with family baggage".

"Okay, Okay Mont will have to be made do you have any suggestions?"

"Dad, I know you think you are clever, but I don't want my brother to have a jacked up name, so how about something that goes better with Lamar, Jamar? Tamar?"

"Wait a minute, it's my name. Why can't I be Lamar too?"

"Cause I'm coming out first, dummy, ha ha.

"I got it boys, how do you like Lavar, it will be Lamar and Lavar."

"You nailed it dad. Now stop whining Lavar."

"Hmmmn, Lavar, Lavar Whatley. Sort of Like Lavar Burton but, with good eyes. I gotta admit, I love it dad. Scootch over Lamar your knee is in my back!"

"You are taking up all the room in this little sac get your legs off of me!
Stop that damn arguing!!!!!!!!!"

"Yes mom."

"Yes mom."

"Ok dad let's do this; See you on the ninth."

"Peace."

"Peace."
