Alike but different

I am certainly delighted, as I was able to relate to the stories faced by other twins. My sister and I were born in May 1989 with a difference of 20 minutes apart. We are identical and inseparable.

We wear the same clothes, have the same shoe size and have the same hairstyle. Even though we said that we wanted to change.

Although we have a lot of similarities there are some minor differences. My sister is right-handed while I am left-handed.

We attended the same school but different classes. My sister took accounts as one of her subjects while I took design. There was an occasion when we played a prank on our teacher. After school I stayed back to finish up my design project for my exam and my sister would usually sit beside me and wait for me to finish up my work. However, one day I went out to the school canteen leaving her alone in class with my work.

Incidentally, when I was out, my teacher was looking for me. My teacher did not know that my sister was not me. So he said to her "Have you finished your work? I want you to do this and this." Not wanting to be rude, my sister let him finish his sentence and just nodded all the way. After he finished his sentence, my sister apologized and said "Sorry sir, but I am not your student." And when I returned to class, he scolded me and told me the whole story and both of us laughed about it.
