Number one most common response from people who learn that I have a twin sister:

Oh that's cool . . . are you identical?

Derrick almost pulled that one today, and he apologized for even thinking such a dumb thing, even if he didn't say it. He doesn't realize that a very large number of perfectly smart, reasonable people ask that question before

i have asked or almost asked if male-female twins

and the people here at ALSO never got back to me about the hair-cutting thing. that's a mystery that may never be solved.

or maybe it isn't really a mystery :)

"i have asked or almost asked if male-female twins"

....

were identical. that's THE question you ask of twins.

that was the original statement i made in my previous comment. sorry it makes no sense now. and i can't change it!

Did you know you can delete comments you leave? (Well, I'm pretty sure you can.) You click the red "x" in the shaded area (where your username, date, time, etc. appear), and it asks you if you're sure you want to delete the comment. I've done it before, but I can't remember if I was leaving a note on my journal or on someone else's, so I'm not positive it would work for you... But it's worth a shot, right?
