T Is For Twins

I am a twin. We are not identical but sometimes relatives confuse us. Growing up, we were referred to as "the twins" or "Dave and etta's girls" We never had our own identity.  Birthday parties and birthday cakes were shared. We shared toys. We shared a bedroom. We even shared an older sister.

It is great being a twin. You always had someone to play with. You never started a new school alone. And you had an extra wardrobe even though when we were little, my mom dressed us alike.

I am the older twin by 30 minutes. Had we waited another day, we could have been April Fools Day babies but we were impatient and arrived early. You know who else is a twin? My mom but unfortunately her twin died shortly after we were born. I don't have any pictures of my mom and her twin but here is a more recent picture of "Dave and etta's girls".
