"Growing up with a twin brother meant that I always had a friend. We started school together, learned pretty much everything together, celebrated birthdays and milestones together, and graduated together. There was always someone to experience those times with, and we grew up learning how to share from the very beginning. We never felt like, 'Oh, he's older and gets to do more than I do' or 'She gets all the attention because she's the baby.' When you're the same age, that just doesn't happen. People expect us to be similar, but we have different interests and we look very different. He's a boy, of course, but he's also a foot taller than me and has curly red hair, so we could never pull off any swapping-places pranks. If I have kids someday, I'd like to have twins. It's fun. Well, maybe not so much for the parents---it's hard for them---but it's a lot of fun for the kids."
