Although not confirmed by DNA tests, we have always thought
of our twin boys as fraternal as to us they look entirely different from one
another, although there are most definitely some physical similarities. Being that a strange phenomenon exists
whereby the word “Twins” seems to instill a mental block in a person’s brain, I
have always supposed that was the reasoning behind so many peoples’ inability
to tell Max and Connor apart.
Recently many of the twins groups on Facebook have seen
members posting pictures of their twins, whereby they have taken photographs of
each of their twin sets, split the faces down the middle and joined them to
create a single picture. It has been a rather interesting exercise in that the
similarities in fraternal twins especially, have really been highlighted.
Fascinated by the outcome of these twin experiments, I
decided to follow suite with my boys, the results of which have led me to
believe that maybe other people are not so crazy in their inability to see the many
differences in our boys that we do.
The first picture is Connor, the second Max and the third, half and half. Connor on the left and Max on the right.
