"In The Eye Of The Beholder"

The Twins Who Are Not Twins, boarded the bus.  They were excited and  were doing their best to get my attention, "Mr. Brandon, Mr. Brandon look, look."  Well I turned and looked toward their house where they were pointing expecting to see a modern wonder of the world.  A quick survey of the house and grounds left me puzzled about all the excitement.  "Look at what?" I said.  "Our daddy's new antique truck," they said in unison.  Well, I took a second glance and sure enough there was a new truck sitting in the driveway.  "Its an antique" they repeated.  It appeared to be a fairly new model truck.  Having driven the same truck since 1988, I know old and this was not it.  "That's an antique?" I questioned.  "Yes," they started in a very excited voice. "There are these handles with little knobs on them on the door and when you turn them the window will go down and if you turn it the other way the window goes back up."  You would not believe their excitement about such a relic of the past.  Wait till they find out that you also have to turn a knob to find a radio station.
