The Five of Us, Spring 2014
Maybe Mom Was Right
I was doing some web research regarding "artificial twins" (an adoption which causes two children in a family to have birthdates less than 9 months apart), and came across this. Looks like maybe my Mom was ahead of her time in postulating that my dear sissy and I are neither identical nor fraternal twins but actually "half-identical." The implications of this discovery are mind-boggling. I mean who would have thought that Sadie Jo and I are even more unique than anyone previously beleived!
And, now for your comparing and contrasting pleasure--a menagerie of photos of the only other identified semi-identical twins (and the only other member of the gene pool for sake of comparison).
Can you tell who's who (unfortunately the hair is a pretty accurate give-away)? What's your opinion--identical, fraternal, or the exceedingly rare semi-identical? The world may never know...

Talk To Me
I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
Stalkers, Caught Red-Handed!
