What I get a lot from being a twin.

As a twin I get things a lot that other people don't. Most of the things below don't actually irritate me but I decided to share a few things since it might have happened to you and your twin too.

On top of my list is the spot the difference game. I don't get annoyed with this at all which is strange considering the fact that we stand there awkwardly while people stare at our faces for a good five minutes. It could get a little strange when the person doesn't know you and gets all in your space but otherwise, it's fine.

Second on my list is the question: Have you ever switched places and pretended to be the other twin?
Honestly, it's not that fun when there's no evil twin or rebellious twin in the mix. I don't know about anyone else but I just can't seem to live with the fact that I got someone else in trouble for something I did even if it is my twin. Besides, my friends can tell us apart. Everyone knows that there's always one twin with a bigger rounder face and the other with a small skinnier face. I did switch places with my twin, Grace by accident once. We were helping mum in the kitchen and I took over dicing the onions (which sucks because I always cry no matter how fast I go). So I was dicing the onions peacefully and mum started talking to me but I had no idea what she was talking about. I thought it was because I was a very bad listener. It turns out, she only mentioned it to Grace and not me.

  Third on my very long list is also the twin telepathy thing. No I can not read her mind but I would love to at times. Maybe there's a deep dark secret she's been keeping from me all these years, Mwahaha. I think there is something else that's similar to telepathy. Most twins understand each other. A simple nod to each other can mean Get me out of here! or He's super good looking.  

Fourthly, is the question: Where's your twin?
This, for some reason, always happens outside the girl's toilets at my school. Grace and I don't have identical bladders and I'm not going to ask her to come to the toilet with me. I think I'm perfectly capable of going to the toilet on my own. However this question doesn't annoy me because it means that my other twin is not forgotten. Just because I'm here doesn't mean I make up for the other twin. We both have different things to offer. For instance, I play guitar and she plays piano. If we were in a band and Grace went missing I couldn't just hop onto the piano and play her part. Although Grace can also play guitar, I am terrible at piano. Somehow, I can't get my right hand to coordinate with my left and the PEDAL?! Yikes.

Last on my list is the typical manner of getting called the other name. It's common nature and you can't avoid it. Even two unrelated people get called a name other than their own. Yes, it's nice to be greeted by your name but is it really that bad to the point that you have to shout out "THAT IS NOT MY NAME!"?
I think the conversation is more important than the starter. Unless, you're dating of course but that's another story.

That's my top five. If anyone has anything else that comes up regularly comment on this post, I'd really like to hear and maybe it might be something that I've missed out.

Haha this is Grace and I when we were chubby babies.
