260 Identical Twins i aying a twin brother is like hav- ing your best friend with you all the time, said Tim Bailey, a se- nior English major from Cinein- nati, Oh. iiBut sometimes its more like your worst enemy, joked Timis identical twin brother, Tom, also a senior English major. Tom believes that it is being the same age that makes the difference in being twins. tiIf you have brothers with a big age difterence they grow up in two dif- ferent worlds. Itis natural for brothers the same age to have the same interest, he stated. The Baileys enjoy many of the same things, but they are different people. Tim believes their differences depend on how others see them. It depends on what side we show themf he said. One of the questions twins are asked the most often is whether or not they have psychic abilities. Tim said that of- ten Tom will know ifTim needs to talk to him or that he himselfwill know ifTom is going to call or come over. iiItis just a feeling, not a power? Tim said. Besides being asked silly questions, being twins has caused other problems. iiPeople cant tell us apart. Everyone thinks that tbeing twinsl is so cute. It can get tiresome and monotonous, said Tim. Instructors are another problem. iiSometimes professors will adopt one name and will call us both by that name, even ifthey can tell us apartf, Tom said. Others put more emphasis on being twins than twins themselves do. iiEvery- one thinks we are so different but weire not, Tom added. The Smiths are different, dittlerent from each other that is. Julie and Jodi. who are from Waverly, Oh., were born three minutes apart on April Fools Day. Though identical physically, they have personalities unique unto themselves. iiJulie is domineering. People tell us apart by calling her the mean one and me the nice one, said Jodi, a junior elementary education major. Jodi feels that she is more patient than her sister and that she herself relates better to children. iTm also more femi- nine whereas Julie is athletically in- clined. But Julie, who is a biology and sec- ondary education major, feels that her sister is more socially inclined. iiShe goes out more often, Julie said. Julie has been influenced more by her Dad while Jodi's influence has been her mother. Basically, I'm Dad's protege and Jodis Momisf said Juliet Though not psychic, because Julie and Jodi are so close, they share what they call Twin momentsf' iiSometimes weill start to say the same things, even starting the sentence with the same wordf Julie said. iiOr we'll be driving down the road and we'll think of the same song. But, when they were toddlerst some- thing happened to them which they have never been able to explain. Jodi was in the kitchen with our grandmother and I was in another room with our grandfather. She reached up and touched the stoye and just jerked back. But, I screamed for no apparent reason? Their grandparents did not want to tell them about the incident for a long time, because they did not want to Hspook them. Because of their intimate relation- ship, the Smiths know it will be hard emotionally and physically if they eyer have to leave each other. Julie added, iiWe share everything. If we split up well have to be on our own be our own indiyiduals. It will be dilti- eult. Jodi is my most noticeable eharae- teristie. Jodi said, When Julie is with me I can always count on someone to be there. The Smiths, like the Baileys. also have problems with teachers. Jodi has trained Julie to speak to her professors. It Iim friendly in class and they see Julie and they think shes mu it'she doesnit speak theyill wonder what the problem is. Another problem identical twins haye is being compared to one another. UCrades. clothes, the way we walk and talk, people always make eomlxn'isons between usfi said Jodi. iiBut friends don't think olius as twins to them we're individuals Jodi added. Amy and Margie Kemplen identical twins from Flatwoods, agreed with the Smiths that they are always put side by side. iiSome people haye the same expeeta- tions of us. They expect us to do the same things, have the same personality: but weire different people. They dont realize that until they get to know us said Amy, a freshman accounting major. Margie. a freshman recreation major. added, iiThey think that iione olius does something, the other does, too. They expect us to have the same responses. The Kempers had a lot to say about how they were different, from eaeh other. iiI like to play during the day and do homework at night. wherease Amy works all day, said Margie. Amy is considered shyer than Margie. but it depends on the situation. uMargie is more outgoing with people she doesnt know, but Iim more outgoing with my friends than she is with hersg said Amy. She thinks dilt'erently than I do. too her reasoning is ditl'erent. They both agreed that their college goals are different. iiMargie wants to be aetiye and outdoors, eyen though she may not get a good job. I want to do something I enjoy but ean make a Iiying at, said Amy. Because of their dilierenees, in per- sonality and when getting along. the Kempers deeided they needed a ehange when they came to school. HWe'ye liyed together all our liyes, we needed a ehangefi said Amy. uVVe ean't liye next to each other for the rest oliour liyes. Margie wanted to liye with someone diliierent. Part otieollege is gettingr out on your own. Its been good for both of us. Amy said that now she is more of her own person and can meet people more easily. Despite their occasional disagree- ments Amy tieelst Itishe wasnit my sis- ter. weld be friends. I get along: with her like I do with my friendsfi Both Amy and Margie agreed that it they were not twins it would be just like haying another sister. They lnue one other sister who is older. Donna White. a freshman business major from Maysyilltx eould not explain the relationship she has with her l'rater- nal twiir Rita. iiThereis just a closeness there. VVeie part olione another. XVeire dillerent parts of the same person. Tov gether wed be perfect. The Whites are total opposites. iiShe likes to party. where I would rather read and Illll Inore sociable. while sheis harder to get along, with. Donna knows she is going into busi- ness: but Rita. who lelt the Unixersity alter her lirst semestelz does not lune any future plans, yet. him is more aggressix e and outgoingr than I am. She likes to draw attention to herselfin a erowd. I don't like to be the center oliattention. But I can always talkto Ritailil haxea problem. She understands me. For White her problems in being a twin were mainly within the relation- ship with her sister. She ate my food while she was here. Also sinee shes gone I ean do more oil what I want to do. Shels the minutes older so she thinks she ean tell me what to do. All in all. with its problems. ditlier- enees speeialness. Julie summed ex ery- thing up when she said iiI couldn't imagine going through life without a twin. e By: Suzanne Smith
