Clones are People Two

Tweet

I think I need to take a page from Calvin and Hobbes' book and have the kids make me a Duplicator. Of course, finding a box big enough to hold an adult might be a challenge... I could accomplish so much if I had some Minion Clones to boss around. Because, let's just face the cold, hard facts: the kids don't listen like they should and their "help" usually makes more mess for Mom to clean up. sigh. I know a Genipher Clone or two would just be tickled pink to chip in and work like a dog to keep the house in order. They could cook and run errands, leaving me the "funner" tasks of homeschooling and playing with the kids all day long. My G-Clones wouldn't mind giving up their freedom to scrub toilets and tidy the garage. They'd grin as they watched me sit on my rear, reading a book. Heck, I bet they could even stay up all night, washing all the smudges off the walls and taking care of the baby when he was difficult. I could sleep in every day while the G-Clones made sure the kids didn't kill each other! And when the house is immaculate; when I've caught up on my novels and the freezer is full of meals; I'll just turn my Duplicator into a Transmogrifier, turn the G-Clones into worms, and set them free in the backyard... Win-win!! I just need to make none of 'em make a copy of themselves. Because we all learned from Multiplicity that that doesn't turn out well! Do you ever wish you had a temporary clone to do your dirty work for you?
