6. I have a different take on the "Can you tell them apart?" question. Can they tell THEMSELVES apart? Like when you show them pictures of each other, can they recognize whether it is them or their lovely sister? If so, are they generally better than it than you are? I always wondered what it must be like to always be somehow always "looking in a mirror" when you're hanging out with your sis. I wonder if they even realize that they look alike?
TubaDad: The girls can usually pick themselves out in a picture or video, and they really enjoy seeing themselves in action. They are definitely individuals with different personalities and mannerisms, and they don't seem to realize they look alike. The other night M asked Ree if she looks like Ro, and Ree emphatically said "no." She then asked Ro if she looks like Ree, and she also said "no." M then asked the girls if Michal and Kenna (the Tolman twins) look alike, and the girls enthusiastically said "YES!" I think when they get older they will realize they look a lot alike, and then the games will begin.
Interesting . Though I was wondering about grown up identical twins seeing their childhood pics that they haven't seen before, the 'We don't look alike' part was a complete surprise.
Let's keep the question open for some time.
