They’ve been through everything together, and I mean everything. Squeezed tightly in their mommy’s womb as they began to form their little bodies. When it came time for birth, one said to the other, I’ll go first and the other said, I’ll be right behind you. Then into the big bright world together. They have always been right next to each other.
Twins share a special bond.
Identical twins share so many characteristics in common, such as eye color, hair color, weight and height, and of course their faces look very similar.
According to Twins.org.au, one of the most common questions people ask twins is whether they are a mirror image of each other.
