Are you absolutely, completely positive you have never mixed them up? Particularly if you are keen on matching outfits?

Having found my missing keys in the freezer, and put coffee granules in the baby bottles, I’m wondering if this is another possible outcome of exhaustion Blush

I am an identical twin (girls). My sister’s first boyfriend was a twin. Obviously she asked him, “Are you identical”? “No, he replied. I have a moustache and she doesn’t”. 😂😂😂

I am totally fascinated by genuine mirror image twins though - right/left handed

My Dad is left handed and my Uncle right.

My ID twins had separate placenta (vvvv early egg division before implantation) confirmed ID on zygosity testing , although why we bothered with that I have no idea as they are clearly identical. They have whorls on different sides, are R handed and ambidextrous, and lost opposite teeth with massively confused me as I also thought mirror twins were v late division ( although I beleive you can get mirror twins with one having dextrocardia where heart is on wrong side in extreme cases )

Alwaysfrank I know exactly what you mean. Twinny 1 looked like twinny 2, but I could never see that no. 2 looked like no. 1, very hard to explain.
If you held them up to a mirror and asked who it was, they would say it was the other one, as obviously the other ones face was more familiar than their own. If you held them both up to the mirror at the same time, that really confused them! (Mean mummy, but so funny!)
