Yes, I'm A Twin, Feel Free To Stop Asking
Molly Hudson

In This Article:

Growing up as a twin you get asked the weirdest questions, over and over and over again, here are a few of my favorites from my life as a twin so far, with the help of some famous twins:

1. Can you read each others minds?

Giphy

For me, no, but I am sure that somewhere out there, there are a set of twins that are able to do so. Also, many do not feel the pain that the other twin is feeling because twins are two individual people.

2. Have you ever tried switching places?

Yes, most twins attempt to do this at least once in their lifetime, my twin sister and I tried to do this in our first grade class, we wore matching clothes and attempted to sit in the others seat. However, for us there was little to no success, as our first grade teacher knew us too well, in fact, she knew our favorite colors, which is why that day she noticed we were wearing our favorite color socks and made us switch back to our own seats.

3. What is it like being a twin?

Well as illustrated by the Olsen Twins it can be all sunshine and rainbows one day and the next day you can be sick and tired of them. It is much like being a single child with an older or younger sibling. There are good days and bad days.

4. How do people tell you apart?

Giphy

I really don't know, it usually comes with time, once you get to know the set of twins then you are able to tell them apart easier. There is typically something small that sets the two apart, for some twins it is obvious and for others it is not.

5. Are you twins?

Giphy

Really? I mean I have never seen a pair of siblings that look so much alike that they could be considered twins, so usually, it is safe to assume that if they look just alike then they are probably twins.

6. Which one of you is older?

Giphy

This is the older twins favorite questions usually, unless you are like me, the older twin, and you look younger, then you HATE this question.

7. Do twins run in the family?

Tenor

It depends on the family, for some it does and for others, it is really by chance or luck, however, you want to look at it. It is a very confusing question for everyone.

8. Which one is the good one?

The good one? What do you mean? I guess it depends on the circumstance.

9. Did your parents ever put you in matching clothes?

Giphy

Yes! The header photo depicts matching with my twin perfectly. It honestly made it so much easier, but in case you are wondering, they don't anymore.

10. Do you do everything together?

Giphy

It depends on the set of twins, some twins do everything together and are literally inseparable, but others have individual interests and like to do things on their own. Many sets of twins start by doing activities together because that is easier for parents to get them to their activity.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
