Stone Twins Silent Laugh

Being an identical twin means you do not have a name For the first eighteen years of your life but keep your happy heart. You are called “Hey, you, Twin!” or “Stone Twin!” Except by your friends who are amazing and can tell you apart. I could not wait to leave home, so I could wear my own stuff. My identical twin wanted to dress identically, this was so tough. I could not wait to get out the door and be called my own name. I did not tell anyone I had a look-alike, who looked exactly the same. Now we are older, and we get a kick out of dressing alike. It takes us hours of deciding, because we can rarely agree. I like clothes with words, a motto, or moral, or a monster on a hike. My twin likes to wear florals, old people clothes that irritate me. We have a twin laugh that is creepy. Our whole family rolls their eyes. This laugh starts out loud but after a while turns silent, which is cool. Silent laugh, our children say, not understanding or able to surmise. That twins have a sense of humor that follows no sense or rule.

My cousin had two sets of twins; to this day she gets the names wrong. Yep, identical and they did play the twins games. Enjoyed.
