Two Heads are Better Than One
by Eve Kaczmarczyk
Have you ever wondered what life would be like with a twin? Someone who looks exactly like you? Someone who never leaves your side and is always there to spend time with you?
With approximately 100 million twins worldwide, how many are in New Hyde Park?
“It’s always nice to have someone by your side. However, he drives me nuts 99% of the time and I get sick of seeing him all the time especially since we have the same friends!” said senior Gabriella Tomasini
Twin brothers Bradley and Bailey Choy may have different personalities but they certainly look alike. “It’s funny seeing people’s reactions when they get our names correct. It’s like they won the lottery,” said Bradley. Bailey compares having a twin as a reflection in a mirror by stating, “Look in a mirror, imagine a name for that person, then have everyone call you by that name.”
However, the pros of having a twin seem to outweigh the cons. “One time in second grade, we had the same clothes on and switched classes, confusing everyone,” said Bailey and Bradley.
Another plus of having a twin involves having the same curriculum is the issue of textbooks. Bradley and Bailey leave one textbook in school and one at home, so they don’t have to bring them back and forth.
Unlike common notions about twins Bradley revealed that he and his twin usually don’t finish each other’s sentences.
Some of the most famous celebrity twins either worked better together or apart. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were simultaneously cast on the T. V. show, Full House. These actresses took turns playing the role of Michelle Tanner. Due to different personalities, Ashley played the more serious role of Michelle while Mary-Kate played the more comedic role.
While these sets of twins have the same career choice and looks, there are some famous twins you may not have known about.
Actor Ashton Kutcher has a twin brother, Michael, who was diagnosed with cerebral palsy at a young age, and never surfaced as an actor. Although they have different lifestyles, Ashton and Michael formed an unbreakable bond. Michael helps raise money towards cerebral palsy research with the full support of Ashton. Jon Heder, the main actor in the cult classic movie Napoleon Dynamite, has a twin brother named Dan. He worked behind the scenes creating visual effects while Jon acted. While some of these celebrity twins stayed hidden, others can always be seen together!
The world of twins appears to be a mystery to most people. However, in actuality having a twin is not all that different than having a sibling or a best friend. Twins are just like you and me, the only difference being that they look exactly the same.
