I have identical twin sons. They are 47 years old. Different finger prints tho. Even at this age their close friends have trouble telling them apart. They did have their own language. Both olympians in the sport of Judo, one is now a family doctor with a specialty in sports med, the other is a police sergeant.

My daughter in her 30s had non-identical twins (one of each) , first twins in my family though as only one of the previous generation (my aunt) is still alive but I've never heard of any. The little girl is a lefty, and mentally ahead of her brother, though she is physically smaller, but he is big for his 2.5 years, he's no slouch though and seems to be following his father and great grandfather possibly into engineering. And the girl has been heard teaching him new words, unfortunately the ruder ones.

I have identical twin cousins. When my uncle wanted one of them, he'd just call out TWIN. Even he couldn't tell them apart as babies. As they got older, different personalities emerged. Penny was quiet and shy. Pat was always talking. But they were totally devoted to each other.

My twin brother and I look nothing like each other. However our younger brother and I could pass for twins. Weird?

Cryptophasia is not unbelievable. It is believable. It has been observed and commented upon for at least half a century. It is also known to occur between or among siblings who are isolated from other children. In the commentary on handedness two different percentages are given though they overlap. Is this a result of citing different studies?

My twins are 47. I didn’t fit the age fact...I was 23. And I don’t have double uterus. I had one lefty and one is a righty. They are not identical. I think I got pregnant with second when I was already pregnant. And at 40 weeks the first one wanted out from being stuck up under my ribcage, so by C-section the smaller 36 week baby came out first. They did communicate with each other, I know that because at 8 months when one asked me about letters on their wooden blocks, 2 weeks later they both knew it.
