I am a twin
And when I divulge that I have a twin sister, the first question of my adoring audience is is "Are you identical?" to which I have taken to responding "Yes, we even have the same hair."
Only I'm a 6'2" guy and my sister clearly isn't.
But then the questions continue!
"Can you feel when she's hurt?"
To which the answer is unfortunately no, but I am yet to come up with a suitable response.
(I have encountered other non-identical twins, and it appears these questions are par for the course. So if you ever meet a twin, please don't ask them if they're identical, or possess any magical twinchronicity powers.)
But now the heart-warming anecdote!
I have always been the bigger of the two, ever since birth when I was lovely and large and she was dangerously small, and with bigger comes louder, etc. This, compounded by my sister's shyness meant that when we headed off to school we formed a bizarre double act. Class began with a register every morning, but my sister was terrified of this and would never answer her name, so every day for the first 3 years of school, I answered for both myself and herself.
Awwww.

"Can you feel when she's hurt?"
Only when I punch her.

Suitably subtle no?


If they believe you would feel it, then string the idiots on surely?

I like
Or maybe "You go punch her and find out", that way I don't even have to do the bruising...

Yeah, I'm 34
and still get asked the same thing about my twin brother, and vice versa.
