[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 221991, member: 2459"] Well, LOL, you two ARE identical! But yeah, I've seen things like that between family members. If you think about it though, if you're raised in the same family (and even not in the same immediate family) you're being raised by people who have similar experiences so to me it would make sense that you have similar things and/or interests/likes. My mom is the youngest of 9 and from those 9 there are 18 grandchildren (my generation......although "my" generation ranges in age from a year older to my mom down to a few years younger than me). My mom and her siblings, while all were raised by my grandmother (her husband was a real piece of work so no one really claimed him. They were divorced when my mom was a year old). Anyhoo....all of them have had a wide variety of luck in their adult lives. But, while I can't think of anything specific right at this moment, my cousins and I have a lot of similarities in the way we do things simply because, I think, of the influence our grandmother had on our parents. As for you and your sister, like I said....you are identical twins. While you have seperate experiences, you still have identical genetic make-up and probably "operate" (think, rationalize, etc) in very similar ways. I read a book about identical twins who were seperatated at birth and after they found each other as adults, discovered that they had quite a lot of similar experiences growing up (things they controlled) and were actually a lot a like.
