Lefty and The Precious

Once upon a time, God wanted to build an orange-headed boy.  So He did!  When He was all done building him, He looked at him and said, "Sa-WEET!"  And then He gave him to me.  That, my friends, is the story of how Lefty became little brother of The Precious.
There's a story about how The Precious came to be my little elvish firstborn too, but it's classified.
The Precious was a responsible and attentive big brother...many years ago.  Today I broke up a fistfight between Lefty and The Precious.  Heaven only knows what that was all about.
Back in the late 1900s I was often asked if Lefty and The Precious were twins.  I always wanted to say yes, identical-- except for the part where they're nineteen months apart, different heights, one red haired/blue eyed and one brown haired/brown eyed, The Precious being left-handed and Lefty being right-handed.
Through the years Lefty and The Precious have taken turns being taller, which disturbed The Precious who assumed that since he was eldest, Mother Nature was obligated to make him tallest.
Hey.  Where were we?  I got distracted when Hunneypunkin turned on the TV.  Jeremy Renner is on the Stand Up 2 Cancer 2012 telethon.
Oh, yes.  The Precious has come to accept Lefty's now being a head taller than he, and they affectionately refer to each other as "little brother".  They call each other a lot of other things too, like right now, so perhaps I should go slice up a nice cancer-fighting tomato to stuff in their sweet little faces.
