I love being an identical, mirror image twin

My sister and I are one minute apart. We are identical and mirror image. Mirror image means that some things about us are exactly opposite. I am right-handed and she is left-handed. I lost my right front tooth first; she lost her left front tooth first.

I love switching places with her to trick people. We do everything together. We share everything. We rarely argue. When we do, it’s about who gets to wear something one day when we both had the same idea to wear it then.

The only thing I don’t like is when people refer to us as “the twins.” We are different people and are totally different. (Well, not totally.) She is my confidant. We rarely keep secrets from each other.

I love her more than any of my other family members. We don’t quite have that whole twin telepathy thing. We may have when we were younger, but if we did no one ever noticed.

I love being a twin.
