Mirror Synchronicity: It's a twin thing

My husband has sisters who are identical twins. Last fall, one of the twins moved to Okinawa. The other twin lives in North Carolina. They miss each other terribly and video chat almost every day. When I received Christmas cards from both of them, it turned out they had sent the exact same card. I had assumed that the one living in the U.S. had purchased extra cards for her sister. It turned out that was not the case. Out of the thousands of Christmas cards available, both sisters had picked out the exact same one individually.

Neat. You should take a pic of the cards together!

my daughters and i do that a lot, too - cards, clothes, books, you name it and we've bought the same thing totally independently of the other - it's nothing at all for us to meet for lunch wearing the same things, receiving and sending the same birthday cards, etc -

neat post!
