Synopsis: "Auntie Celia was there to meet us and she was in a terrible flap. 'I thought you were never going to get here!' she squealed. She hugged Jo and me so tightly we nearly burst. Auntie Celia started talking about how she'd had the dresses made, and how lovely they were... 'You only sent me one set of measurements for the twins,' she said. 'So I guess they must be the same size. They're just like two peas in a pod. The dresses will be perfect!' Jo's face turned as red as a raspberry. He looked desperately at Mum. 'What?' he muttered. 'Does she think I'm a girl?' 'Um, er,' Mum stuttered. 'Let me introduce the twins. This is Daisy and...' 'This must be Joanna!' gushed Auntie Celia. Mum gulped like a fish out of water. The words, 'No, Joseph...' froze in her throat. Suddenly a taxi pulled up beside us. There was no time for Mum's throat to melt. 'There's your car!' cried Auntie Celia. 'It'll take you straight over to the hotel. Go and get yourselves a good night's sleep and I'll see you in the morning!'"
