No, but they’re 5th grade teachers which is worse IMO https://people.com/where-are-abby-brittany-hensel-now-8768309

Oh that seems like probably the hardest job to have with that particular condition. Imagine having to explain to a new group of 10-year-olds every year why you have a conjoined twin. And I’m sure there are kids who say not nice things about them.

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

Ugh the sick part of my head thought for sure you were going to say “hopefully they can turn the other cheek”

Now I’m imagining someone saying to one of them “turn the other cheek” and they just grab their twins head and turns it.

My dark brain read that description so violently. Did they kill their twin??

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’m in two minds about it.
