If you give a girl a twin brother, she may ask why she didn't get a sister, and may try to dress him up as a princess every chance she gets. Trust me, she will dress him as a princess when they're five and he will hate every second of it, but will go along with it.

If you give a girl a twin brother, she will have a forever best friend, someone who she can always confide in and tell her deepest secrets to.

If you give a girl a twin brother, she will celebrate every Tuesday as being Twin Tuesday by posting on her Snapchat if she is with him. (I did this every Tuesday in high school, sorry not sorry.)

If you give a girl a twin brother, she will be his number one fan, and biggest pain in the butt. She will annoy him, and call every weekend when they go to separate colleges.

A twin brother is the best gift that parents could ever give.
