1. Are you identical or fraternal?
This happens mostly when you’re without the other half. But you’d be surprised by how many people ask when the both of us are standing right in front of you — as if the answer wasn’t obvious.
2. Who’s older?
In a synchronized tone we both say, “She is/I am by one minute.”
3. You don’t even look like twins!
Well gosh, you’re right. We don’t. Guess we better just stop being twins then.
4. Do you guys have twin telepathy?
Yes, but not in the way you would think. We created our own language growing up that I don’t think can happen to just anyone. We can read each other’s body language like you wouldn’t believe. If you chose to play games with us, you will lose.
5. Are you best friends?
This is a tricky question because of course we are, we’re twins. We know each other better than we know anyone else. However, we have our own best friends separate from each other too.
6. Do you match your outfits?
Honestly. Why even ask this? It was cute when we were two, now catch two 22 year-olds wearing matching overalls and flower hats and ask me again.
7. Do you like being a twin?
This is like asking a dog if they like being a dog. It’s all I’ve ever known so yeah, it’s pretty cool. It’s great to have someone to share life with.
8. Do you ever play tricks on people?
Fraternal twins? Yeah, we get away with that a lot…
9. Can you feel each other’s pain?
Not sure if this can be scientifically proven or not. I do think that I can tell when something is wrong with her, emotionally or mentally, but if she stubs her toe, no, I can’t feel that. That girl has broken ¾ limbs and I haven’t felt a thing.
10. “Nicole…I mean, Erica. Opps, sorry.”
You’d think they’d learn...
11. “The twins”
Always being referred to as a pair as if you aren’t your own person.
12. Do you like sharing a birthday?
Does anybody actually like sharing cake? No, but it is fun to have two cakes and two reasons to celebrate.
Personal Plug: I love my twin sister more than anything. She's my "womb-to-tomb." There is no other bond on Earth than the one sisters have and I'm so grateful for her (and my other sisters too). If today is all I get, I'm so glad to have shared life with her and if I'm offered many more tomorrow's, then I can't wait to experience life with her by my side and me by her side.
