“I’m not going!”
There it was. Mira’s famous pout.
Dahlia sighed. “Stay home, then.”
“And leave me all alone? You always think only of yourself!”
Get a mirror, Dahlia turned to the door. No use arguing when her twin was in a mood. “Party is next week, and I’m going. You do you. Now, I’m off to Fab Fabrics.”
Mira sniffled. “I don’t need another quilt.”
“I know,” Dahlia smiled. “This one’s for me.”
“You already have a quilt, no fair you’ll have more than I!”
Dahlia smirked. “Actually, it’s for the party. Gonna make me a dress to impress.”

Ah, but that’s the magic of it – even if identical (i.e. having the same DNA), twins are often very different in personality and thoughts. It shows how we are definitely more than ‘just’ our DNA! 🙂

I think the strategically placed phrase with the mirror says it all. Mirror image isn’t being the same. Love it.

Na’ama Y’karah,
Someone once asked my mom if she felt it when my uncle was in pain. She merely scoffed. Of course they were fraternal twins. 😉 Mira and Dahlia might share DNA but that doesn’t mean they will always agree. Wonderful banter.
Shalom,
Rochelle

Thanks, Rochelle! Yes, I have a niece and nephew who are twins, and though they certainly have a very special close relationship, they are their own persons (duh!) and yet some people still think that they somehow must be telepathic or like the same things or what not.
BTW, one of said pair of twins just gave birth TODAY to her firstborn son. (!!YAY!!) Her twin brother also has a son (2 year old). So, do they “both have boys” because they are twins? 😉 Love it that you loved the banter. 😀
