Hahahah, I look at this and laugh, because it pretty much sums up mine and Gina's relationship. Crazy, funny and a little...well, weird. :) But I'm sure siblings are like this as well, so what's the difference between having a sister and a twin? I'd say it's almost exactly the same. For all you out there who have ever thought: man, I'd love to have a twin- it's the same as having a sister, but with a few added problems. For example; whenever we go anywhere new, it takes a long time for people to know who we are individually, as the first impression they get is: oh it's the twins. And we are, from then on, collective, until proven otherwise. Which isn't great. Also... people assume you're okay on your own because you've 'got each other' but frankly we're just like everyone else in that we love to meet new people! So... there are pro's and cons same as any other relationship. But a definite, definite pro is that you have a 'sidekick' a 'wingman' a 'best friend for life' from the minute your born. And you can only thank God for that. :) (And obviously being asked the same questions over and over for most of your life is a little dull... in fact, I'll give you a taster:
1. Are you two twins?
2. How do you tell the difference?
3. Are you identical?
4. Who's the older one?
5. How far apart are you?
6. Are you really similar?
7. Are you telepathic?
8. Do you like, have each others clothes and things?
Etc. Etc. This post was inspired because, when I went to meet my Team (that I'm heading out to Tanzania with in January) on it was a girl who was also a twin, and a guy who was also a twin. Different situations but it was weird being able to relate over something that had previously only ever put me apart.... and it was a nice change! So I thought I'd enlighten those "normal" people out there who weren't born at the same time as someone else, as to exactly how that feels. And in summary:
It's a happy coincidence, a bonus, a blessing and a joy, and a disadvantage all at once. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
