Twins

I am a mom of identical twins. They both have 2 daughters and live in different states. When they visit or are together they will often have the same clothes without shopping together. Or the same clothes for their daughters. They have the same sheets. Etc. They are incredibly the same but are not the same person obviously. I encouraged them to be put in different school classes at 4th grade and this helped them create different friends.

The Lawless Horrel Brothers

I heard an ad for your podcast, was excited to check it out. First one I listened to, the music bed was so loud and with twangy music, I had to turn it off. Sorry guys.
