What do you do when one twin is invited to a party and the other is not???

Separating the boys in school was a fabulous idea. They were getting along, learning so much, and having a blast. Then, the dreaded birthday invitation came, for just one of them. Carter was invited to a birthday party by one of his classmates, and Brandon was not invited. Brandon was extremely hurt and upset and couldn't understand why he was not allowed to go. I explained to both of the boys that separate classes meant separate friends and separate invitations. I hated to do it, but i only took Carter to the birthday party. Brandon had to go stay with his dad during the party. His dad took him to McDonald's to play while we were at the party so he at least got some fun out of the day. I told Brandon that an invitation would one day come for him that Carter did not receive. Sure enough, about 6 weeks later, Brandon was invited to a birthday party for one of his classmates and Carter was not invited. At this point, both of the boys understood the situation and were able to handle future invitations with ease.
