I have a twin sister, and whenever anyone finds this out, they instantly start to freak out and start to ask questions. I get bombarded with dozens of questions- some of which seem to make zero sense. So here are some questions that people ask when they find out you have a twin.
1. Are you identical or fraternal?
My sister and I are Identical twins.
2. Who's older?
She's older by four minutes. She was born at 7:43 a.m. and I was born at 7:47 p.m.
3. Do you guys have twin-telepathy?
No, we don't. I really don’t think it’s true, but if it was, I have never experienced it before, or maybe I have?
4. Do you like being a twin?
I like being a twin. I like knowing that I have some there for me and someone talk to about everything. We may not always have a perfect relationship at times but we quickly get over and we somehow are like best friends again.
5. Are you guys best friends?
This is a hard question, we have a bipolar relationship (see question 4), we have our good days but we have bad days too. Nobody is perfect and neither are relationships of any type.
6. Have you two ever switched places?
We did a lot in high school especially in our English class because our teacher couldn't tell us apart at all. The students could but they thought it was funny so they went along with it.
7. Did you go to the same college?
After we graduated high school she moved to Cleveland, OH and attended Cleveland State University while I stayed local. I am currently finishing my general studies associates degree at Glen Oaks Community College. This past summer she did move back home and started online classes at Glen Oaks so we technically attend the same college.
8. How can people tell you guys apart?
She has a side shaved head and is shorter. I have glasses and I'm taller. She also has a scar on her nose from having to get stitches when she was younger.
9. Do you guys have the same friends?
Yes, we have a few friends that are the same but most of our friends are very different.
10. Can you feel each other's pain?
NOPE...
11. Did your parents dress you alike as kids?
From the pictures I have seen, they did. But there would be something distinct about each of our outfits so they could tell us apart.
12. Do you guys have a secret language that only the two of you know?
No. We are not that creative, nor did we ever get the chance to come up with a whole new language.
13. Do you guys get along?
Sometimes, we are working on it.
