Ice delivery
I'm here to pick up my ice order. Ahhh, never mind.

Not a comment, but several questions: Why sitting on blocks of ice? And why bare butt? Wouldn't that create frostbite in a most uncomfortable place?

I'm willing to bet we're looking at two sets of brothers here. Boy #1 bares a strong resemblance to Boy #3, as does Boy #2 to Boy #4.
And that's not just in their ears.
