AN INFANT MEETING HER FATHER’S TWIN. Annalisa sent me this Youtube of a little girl meeting her father’s twin. A similar moment happened for Annalisa and Nick and earlier for my brother Elmer’s children, Andrew and Molly. It happens after the child thinks he or she has figured out some of the rules for how the world works. The new second daddy violates the rules.

I remember this pretty well from one of the times you visited long ago. I said that I could tell you apart by your clothes, but I could actually tell from your faces….
At very early ages babies stare longer at things that surprise them. That’s the basis for psychologists’ conclusions that, say, a baby knows something at n months that she didn’t at n-1. Babies are shown films in which some things fall up; at n months the babies stare longer at the things that fall up. Alison Gopnik has a couple of great books on this.
