Hard to believe, but true

Hulk&Baby are unusually skinny people.

Hard to believe because they eat SO MUCH ICE CREAM AND JELLYBEANS..... like a couple of six year olds at a birthday party that never ended. Poorly supervised adults with no bedtimes and access to credit cards and automobiles can be easily mistaken for wee folk. Faeries, too. Giggles, magical glint in the eye, that sort of thing.

It's a good thing Hulk&Baby are endurance athletes because otherwise they would be huge.

There are a few things about Hulk&Baby that are hard to believe, yet true all the same:
Hard to believe they were (are) :

- So easily entertained by each other. They chortle to the point of teary-eyed-ness an awful lot.
- Preoccupied with one another for some months across a spacial-temporal divide that never seemed to grow or shrink. Same thoughts, same hopes, same doubts, same wondering if it was crazy...Knowledge is different from fantasy. Fantasy worries and wonders but knowledge sleeps soundly until its moment arrives.
- Dressed like grown-ups for a whole weekend once for almost no reason.
- Able to get any work done at all during the past week between the perpetual alternate intensities of tweetle-beetle battling and appreciating the hell out of each other.
- Equally excited about Westerns and high art, Hip-Hop and Stan Rogers.
- Able to share clothes.
- Going to be apart for 6 whole weeks starting next Tuesday. Yes, it's true. Baby has to go to Poet Camp away across the great divide in the faraway land of rock and thin air to finish her Big Important Book (TM) (no pictures...Hulk protests and offers to color some...).

But that's another post.

And man, they eat a whole heap of Ice Cream and Jellybeans. That's the main thing.
