Upon telling people that I am a twin, I have heard some really interesting comments. I can't tell あなた how many times this exchange has happened:
"Are あなた two related?"
"Yes, we're twins."
"Gosh, あなた look so much alike I would have thought あなた were sisters."
One of the stories my twin sister and I like to tell is that neither my mother nor her doctor had any idea she was going to have twins until a nurse in the delivery room looked down and exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, there's another one!"
A friend to whom I told this story remarked, "Wow! How old were あなた when this happened?"
Around the beginning of the school year, my sister was talking to a guy in her history class. Apparently the same guy was in my English class but didn't realize there were two of us. He came up to my sister and said, "Hi Sarah."
My sister corrected him. "No, I'm Jennifer."
He got really confused and asked, "Well, how come they call あなた Sarah in English class?"
If I had a nickel for every time someone pulled something like this on my sister and me....
Someone: "So あなた two are twins?"
My Sister and Me: "Yep."
Someone: "But あなた can't be twins! Your names don't rhyme! Her shoelaces are bigger than yours! Your clothes don't match! あなた weren't born at the exact same second!"
My Sister and Me: (sigh)
One of my お気に入り exchanges about being a twin happens every now and again. It goes like this:
"How old are you?"
"I'm 27."
"How old is your twin sister?"
I have twins that are five months old. Once I was talking to a young man, maybe 19 または 20, who looked at my 赤ちゃん and asked if I had two boys または two girls. I replied, "Oh, they're a boy and a girl."
"I thought they were twins?"
"They are!" I answered, and then I had to explain that, yes, this was possible. He couldn't seem to grasp the difference between fraternal and identical twins.
Finally he asked, "Are あなた sure?"
When I was in college, I was working for a savings and loan as a security guard at night. One evening, my identical twin brother stopped by, and one of my not-so-bright co-workers was amazed:
Co-Worker: "Wow, are あなた guys twins?"
Me: "Yeah."
Co-Worker: "How do あなた tell each other apart?"
He was not joking.
"Are あなた two related?"
"Yes, we're twins."
"Gosh, あなた look so much alike I would have thought あなた were sisters."

"Finally!We won!"Someone inside the room said.Then the girl that talked to the guy appeared!"My Children!We shall rule the land tomorrow!"She said."What about the stone?"A kid asked."The stone.We shall have it!just imagine,snatching it from Raymond's hands!"She said.We peeked our heads up."Hey,who's in the door way?"Someone asked standing up."Run!RUN.RUN!"They bolted.Went as fast as they could."Hurry!Go were あなた came from!Come back tomorrow!"With that,Maybelle left.Running."Get the key!"Sarah and Alicia told Henry bouncing up and down."Here!"Henry unlocked the door.The door opened.And Henry locked it.The screams of the town rose."Who should keep the key?"Alicia asked.
Silence.
"I'll take it.I'll put it in a little box."Sarah said."Hide it!Put it in the 木, ツリー house!"Alicia said.They all left.Sarah,with the key in her コート pocket,turned around.The screams."I hope You're okay,Maybelle."She said,her eyes almost shut.
