To their slight benefit, I doubt it’s a shock to any of the kids or parents when they show up at the start of the year. I bet they’re a well known pair in their school system and community.
Doesn’t make comments and jokes easier though, but hopefully they can turn their experience into good lessons
If I recall their situation correctly, the even more fucked up part is that she would be carrying around her slowly necrotic twin until she herself died.
I believe each twin controls their own half of the body, and they have a couple organs that are duplicated, but I don’t recall which ones. If they share a heart, and other vital organs her dead sister would just be there, and continue to be dead without actually decomposing.
If they don’t share vital organs, then she would slowly become necrotic until they both died, and the living twin would feel an immense strain on her own organs.
I've never met them but they're a couple years older than me and from broadly the same area. I know people who went to college with them. They're definitely a known entity
Even when I was growing up, talking shit about them got you pushback. And we were noxious little shits back then compared to today. It was partially cause it's disrespectful but also because Minnesotans fucking love any claim to relevancy we can get and they're celebrities. Did you get interviewed by Oprah? Yeah I don't think so buddy.
Yeah, you nailed the MN mindset. I've seen them out and about a few times. I feel terrible when I saw them once and kind of jumped. It was my first day on a job so I was pretty nervous and I turned around they were right next to me. My brain took a second to process what I was seeing and I was amped up because of my first day. They did not seem pleased.
I met them when they went to bethel university. they're instantly recognizable but it is a little weird how they keep ending up in the news lol out here they're just normal people but it feels like the rest of the country sees them as a freak show or something.

I would think after living with their condition and working in an elementary school the jokes wouldn't both them. For kids it would be a teaching moment for adults it is more a reflection on the adult.
