Everyone Has a Twin

A woman stopped me In the shopping mall She said" How is Neil?" I said "I do not know a Neil" "Oh, I am sorry I thought you were my cousin Jean" "Everyone has a twin" "You look like her".

Your "Everyone Has A Twin" is a fun write. This started back in school. This is still happening to me. People will think I am someone else. I must have twin. The question is, who/where??? Have a blessed day writing away...............

Hello Paula, I was told I looked like a family member. I never met her. I think you have more than a twin. To bad you can not meet them. That would be wonderful. Hugs.

This is so possible, Darlene ! It is said that out of the whole of mankind, there are seven sets of people looking almost the same ! You have written this conversation in a very sweet way ! I enjoyed your 'enconter' at the mall

Hello Alakas, this has happened to me as well. A lady thought I was her friend's cousin. So we all have a twin somewhere. He really thought you were that person. Salute Darlene

I have always heard that everyone got a twin, but I never believed. Until I saw my twin walked past me In my street. Funny, I haven't seen him since then, even after a year of searching and waiting.:'( :'(

Darlene, I couldn't tell you how much I appreciated your poetry. Each person does have an identical twin. Do you find it surprising that frequently it is the case?

Darlene De Beaulieu
Date: 6/24/2022 4:46:00 AM
