One day my twin sister applied for an internship to the museum of modern art in New York City. She was very exited about it. She told me that her main concern was the telephone interview because we live in Puerto Rico and the last interview would be held by phone.

A couple of weeks later I was at work at 9:00 am in the morning and I started to feel anxious; so nervous that I started shaking.  My friend and co-worker looked at me and said “What is happening?”

I said that I didn't know was what going on. I felt that my body was responding to someone else. It wasn't mine at all.

That strange feeling persisted for about 15 minutes. Then it was gone completely, just like that. One minute later my twin sister was on the phone and said, "Hey I just had my internship interview ... I felt so cool, calm and collected that I didn't recognize myself." The interview lasted 15 minutes. 

Then I said to her, “Of course you felt that way, I was the one with a nervous attack without any reason!” Then there was silence on the phone. She laughed and said "Thank you!"

We call it the freaky twin sister thing each time something like that happens to us.
