I’m a twin. Call me crazy, but I remember communicating as a baby with my brother. I even remember the exact situation.

I dated an identical twin for a hot minute. Her and her sister had a couple of sounds and hand gestures that only they understood. It wasn’t a whole other language like you’d see in a movie or a tv show but it was their own language. They mostly did it when they would argue because no one else could understand. Also, the sister didn’t like me so I got to see them argue a fair amount.

We twins have super weird connections. Love my brother to death, and we are a lot alike in many ways. But also very different in more ways.

Fun fact about me. I am a twin, my Dad is a twin, my Father in law is a twin. God help my daughter.

Do you mind if I ask what was the situation and what do you remember communicating?

We were about one ish getting our photos done at JC Pennys. They were fretting over us trying to get us to smile. It’s one moment of a few that I remember communicating with him. It was babel, and I remember that he and I only knew. It was like that for longer than most would think. Our non verbals are pretty unique as well. I can read him like a book, and it’s annoying he can read me.
