<\/a><\/p>\np{color:gray}. Photo: Unbelievably, this photo was taken just one year ago this week, on April 23, 2011. How the girls have grown! (Click to enlarge.)<\/p>\n
We played this game at Lucy and Rosie’s “together birthday party”:\/news\/2012\/two-girls-one-party\/ and described it like this:<\/p>\n
bq. Jon looked through his tweets from the past year, found the favorite quotes he had tweeted on behalf of the girls, and paired them up. To each pair, he has added a _fictional quote_ that the girls did _not_ actually say. You have to read the sets of three quotations and identify the fabricated one. Would you like to play? You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in luck!<\/p>\n
Can you beat Grandpa’s high score of ten correct answers? Post your score below by May 1. You’ll find the answer key linked at the end. Honor system, please! The lucky winner will receive (wait for it) the chance to light the candles on their own birthday cake! (Plus a Lucy-and-Rosie original piece of artwork.) Happy playing!<\/p>\n
