13 Basic Questions Twins Hear Over And Over
Lex Olson

1. "Are you identical or fraternal?"

If you are a twin you can definitely relate to this one because I'm 99.9% positive that it comes up almost immediately after people find out you have a twin.

2. "Are you guys like best friends?"

We argue just like any other siblings do. Sometimes we are best friends; sometimes we absolutely cannot stand each other.

3. "Man, I wish I had a twin that would be so fun!"

Yeah... A lot of people have this opinion, but I will let you know that having a twin is both a blessing and a curse because. They know everything. You are seeing a new boy and do not want your parents to know? Too bad, cause your twin already told them.

4. "Did you end up going to the same college?"

I get this question all the time and truly I don't know why; after spending nearly 18 years together I was definitely in need of a slight distancing from my womb buddy.

5. "Isn't it great that you can share clothes?"

Ummm... it's great if your twin is willing to share them... but when they do, it's perfect cause you basically have two closets to choose from!

6. "Do you have the same friends?"

We are different people, so most twins can probably say, they have a few of the same friends and a few different ones. It all depends, but we usually have the same enemies cause twins have to stick together of course.

7. "Is it hard being away from your twin?"

SO. INCREDIBLY. HARD. But Facetime and texting will do while we are apart.

8. "Do you guys have twin telepathy?"

No...I don't know why people assume this is a thing.

9. "Can you feel each other's pain?"

Still, no.

10. "Do you ever dress alike?"

When we were toddlers and forced into matching clothes by my mother who thought it was absolutely adorable; but now, if I were to come downstairs in something even slightly similar to my sister... one of us must change.

11. "Do you do everything together?"

We aren't conjoined, so no we don't. We do have our own lives.

12. "Do you mind sharing a birthday?"

Having a twin means double the cake and double the party guests! So its a win-win, and the funniest thing is there is always at least one person that will ask both of you when your birthday is and then feel defeated when they realize it is the same.

13. "Do you like having a twin?"

I absolutely love having a twin. It has its ups and downs, but anyone who is lucky enough to be blessed with another human to their exact age to go through life with should cherish it greatly.
