Siamese Twins (Not)

The boys were horsing around today and thought it was funny to share the same jacket. I said they looked like Siamese Twins, and they had no idea what I was talking about. Seeing this as a teachable moment, we opened up Google and began talking about conjoined twins often called Siamese Twins. Now, our twins are fraternal rather than identical, so this condition never threatened them. Identical twins develop from a single egg and conjoining occurs when the individuals don’t completely separate. We looked at the various photos of conjoined twins and they became very sad for those poor siblings, who have to struggle through life connected to one another. Today we learned of yet another thing to be thankful for.
