The Primary Teacher Trap

On Sunday morning I came home from my meeting to find Joseph and Brigham concocting a diabolical plan.  Not really, but it was funny.  Joseph and Brigham don't put much thought into the fact that they are twins, because it's all they've ever known.  They don't look all that much alike, and they certainly don't have similar personalities.  But, for some reason, on Sunday they decided to try to play a trick on their primary teacher by dressing up as each other.
Brigham likes to dress sharp for church.  He usually wears a suit and tie, his black tie church shoes, and combs his hair very carefully, sometimes even using hair gel. 
Joseph, on the other hand, really, really does not like dressing up.  He wears black church pants and a sweater most Sundays.  And he has been known to go to church with his hair still looking decidedly "bedhead."  He knows once he turns 12 he'll have to don the white shirt and tie, but for now he takes comfort over style. 
So on Sunday they decided to dress up as each other and see if their primary teacher mixed them up.  Joseph wore Brigham's suit, Brigham wore Joseph's sweater, Joseph combed his hair and used about a week's worth of hair gel to keep his hair parted on the right (they have opposite parts, isn't that funny?), while Brigham... did not.  :-)  The cutest thing was watching Brigham help Joseph with his tie shoes.  Joseph wears black slip-on Sunday shoes and almost never wears tie shoes, so he's not very good at it (I've just added another item on my summer "to do list"-- make sure Joseph and Mosey can tie shoes!).
When they were all ready, it was indeed hard to tell them apart-- at least from the back.  :-)
I was skeptical that they would be able to trick their teacher, though, because Brother Taylor has the most identically identical twin boys that I have ever seen, and if anyone can tell twins apart, it's definitely him.  But, sure enough, after church, Joseph and Brigham came rushing into the Relief Society room all excited to report back that they DID trick their primary teacher!  Now I don't know if their switching Sunday clothes had anything to do with it as people frequently forget which name belongs with each boy, even though they can easily tell the boys apart.  But Joseph and Brigham sure got a kick out of it!
Joseph had his shoes, shirt jacket, and tie off before we even made it home, but I made him put them all back on so I could take a picture.  :-)

Please ignore my messy house in the background.  And the bizarre angle I took the picture at.  Not sure what I was thinking with that one.

Joseph was awfully excited for me to take a picture of him, can't you tell?  And by this time his hair was definitely reasserting its natural inclination towards dishevelment.  :-)
