Sharing the wealth of "me"

Tonight, and bedtime, Daniel raised an important question with me:

Daniel:  Dad, when you were a kid, did you think how awesome it would be to duplicate yourself?

Me:  Hmmm...  I'm not sure the thought ever crossed my mind.

Daniel:  It occurs to me every two hours.

Ironically, many people seem to feel that I have been "duplicated," in effect, in the person of Daniel, himself.  Not only do we have the same name, but some people actually feel that the personality was inadvertently cloned.  My brother, Joseph, once dubbed Daniel, "the most aptly named child in the universe."
