Twins aren’t disconcerting only because we know that they can fool us at any moment substituting their sibling without our knowledge, but because they have someone who will always be closer to them than us no matter what. Well, that’s the stereotype, at least. An identical twin just did an Ask Me Anything on Reddit. A few exchanges follow.

Question:
We’re close but I have friends I’m much closer with. We don’t tell each other everything, and rarely talk about boys together, whereas I have friends I can tell anything to. However I know she will always be there for me, even though we constantly fight, while I don’t necessarily know that about my friends. I feel I will definitely be closer with my future spouse (I’m only 19!) and my children, but I will also have a very close relationship with her children as well. After all, they will have the same genetic makeup from my sister as my children will have from me.

Question:
Do you have any other siblings? If so, do you feel like your relationship with them is different from that with your twin? Did your parents dress you in matching outfits when you were children?
Answer:
I have an older brother. One time he asked my mom where his twin was. We definitely have a different relationship, he’s an older brother who I feel, has always resented my twin and me deep down for having each other.
My mom didn’t want to dress us in matching outfits so she would buy us the same outfits in different colors. I always think its a bit sick when I see twins dressed exactly alike. Parents should encourage them to be unique!

Two words: twin threesomes?
Answer:
Hahahaha, NO! We are very weird about boys and sex. We don’t talk to each other about boys or what we have done. It just seems…creepy.
