I have been allocated the number 2 .... not an exciting number like 7 or 13 is it? But after giving it some thought I realised how important this little number is in our lives. We live in a (mostly) symetrical world. Where would we be without a pair of hands or eyes or legs? Goodness we would be without pairs of shoes!! From pairs we can go to twins. My aunty had 2 sets of twins - one set in each marriage! 
2 peas in a pod! Terrible picture ...... sorry Aunty but its the only one I have! This is c1965 with her first twins - I still can't tell the difference between them 40+ years later! My aunts other twins were born about 10 years later, girls again but this time non-identical. They were 2 of my 4 bridesmaids in 1989 :) Another terrible photo but I didn't keep many. The twins are the first two to my right. 
Wikipedia has a wealth of information on the number two. For example it is the first & smallest prime number and the only even one. Other references of course can be made to 2nd best, 2nd marriage, 2 halves, 2 hearts beat as one, put two & two together, 2 o'clock, etc etc! But I think I will end with this photo of the Twin Towers.

ReplyDeleteI was going to say that 2 is a very special prime number - so FAR superior to 7 or 13 - but you'd spotted that! Too late :D
