Interesting. There's some twins (or is it a couple of twins? Pair of
twins? Maybe set of twins?) up here who used to get a lot of press when
they were young and cute. Because of complications during delivery, one
of the identical twins was deprived of oxygen long enough that he
developed cerebral palsy. He used a manual wheelchair to get around
while his brother was completely able-bodied. I often wondered what it
would be like to have someone that looked like me but could walk around.
Seems like it would be a truly odd experience.
