It's interesting that there are many duplicates of each of the Little People characters. Often they're dressed a bit differently or are carrying something different, but it's still the same character in multiple outfits. Last night, Daddy (just back from a trip to Atlanta) and I played with the "clone" game with the Little People. This involves both counting and social pleasantries. First, the counting part: Sorting through the little people, we have to pick out all the clones of each type of Little Person.
The largest number of clones are of the Eddie character. They consist of Regular Eddie, Dude Eddie, Christmas Eddie, Easter Eddie, and Mechanic Eddie. Finishing in second is the Sonya Lee character. Her clones consist of: Money Sonya Lee, Apple Sonya Lee, and Zookeeper Sonya Lee. Tied for third is the Mommy character, which consists of two absolutely identical Mommies (Mommy 1 and Mommy 2).
On to the social pleasantries: Once the clones are gathered together, they introduce themselves to one another. A typical conversation goes like this:
Regular Eddie: Pleased to meet you. I'm Eddie
Dude Eddie: Dude! Awesome. I'm Eddie, great to meet you Eddie.
Easter Eddie: Eddie...Eddie
Christmas Eddie: Funny, I'm named Eddie too. Good to meet you Eddie.
And on and on.

Hey Daddy,
You don't even realize how many "clones" there are! There are also 4 Sarah Lynns (with Balloon, Easter, Halloween witch & Christmas angel), 3 (not merely 2) identical mommies, and 3 babies (2 completely identical and one with a different color blanket). We also have 2 Santas and 2 Mrs Clauses. I'm sure that I've missed more!

Send in the Clones!
Hi, Aidan,
I would have to say that I did enjoy seeing all of the Green Aidans vs. the Orange Guys gathered aroung the table for a mass checker game. Who knew that checkers was a team sport?
The older generation of "Little Guys" had, I think, somewhat edgier personalities. Now who can forget the pothead guys, and the larger porn-stache guys! You don't see Fisher-Price putting these guys out anymore!
Anyway, all of the Little Guys and their accoutrements are awaiting your return in the "ball-room" here, with more surprises in the attic. Your cousin Emma is coming to visit next month, and she will probably have her go at the Fisher-Price conglomerate. Incidentally, she refers to her FP Little People as "Peeps".
Love.
