1 Family reunion
2 Twins become friends
3 Strange coincidence
The stories about identical twins having nearly identical lives are often dramatic and fascinating. But sometimes things go differently.
Twin sisters never knew about each other’s existence because they were divided somewhat 20 years ago. When one of the girls entered the University of Wisconsin-Madison, strange things began to happen. Shirley Phillips had no idea that Kora Bell was her twin sister until university students started taking her for another girl.
Shirley and Kora came from different social backgrounds. Shirley’s parents were very well-off and she lived in Central New York. Kora was brought up in a family of Lithuanian origin on a farm not far from Milwaukee. None of them had any feeling they had a twin until Shirley came to live in Wisconsin in 2014.
Complete strangers started to recognise Shirley in the street. She got even more confused and astonished: a friend of hers announced that he had got acquainted with someone who was the mirror image of her. He insisted that they were sisters. The girl’s name was Kora and she attended another university in Milwaukee.
They first got in touch with each other through the Internet. It turned out they had been adopted and were exactly the same height, just over 5 feet, very slim, with blue eyes, dark hair and fair skin. Finally, one girl e-mailed the other a photo. They had such exact likeness that no doubt remained — they were identical twins. Since their first meeting, the girls have been best friends.
1 The twins are very naughty.
2 The twins have their own way of protesting.
3 The twins want to get on their fathertasks nerves.
Ruby and Garnett art ten-year-old identical twins who do everything together, even more so now since their mother died three years earlier. Their tasktaskdouble aettasktask certainly troubles and even spoors Rose, the new woman in their dadtasks life.
Garnet and I have this special language. Wetaskve got heaps of made-up words for things. Sometimes we dontaskt use words at all, just signs and gestures.. We can communicate just by widening our eyes or putting out heads slightly to one side. Sometimes we just signal each other to both start a pretend coughing fit or to sneeze simultaneously or to shriek with manic laughter.
Rose, my fathertasks girlfriend, isntaskt used to this. She thinks ittasks spooky.
This happened recently one day we were in the car with my dad and Rose.
"Pack it in," dad said.
I glanced at Garnet.
"Pack in what, dad?" we said simultaneously.
"Less of the cheek" dad said, taking one hand off the steering wheel and swatting at us.
"How do they do that?" Rose asked.
"How do we do what?" we asked.
"Stop it! Youtaskre giving me the creeps. Can you really read each othertasks thoughts?" she asked, shivering.
"Of course they cantaskt" dad said.
"Then how can they say the same thing at the same time in that weird way?" Rose asked, peering at us.
"I dontaskt know," dad said, shrugging,
"But we know," we said, and we raised our eyebrows and made our eyes glitter in a mysterious and mystic manner.
