The girls discuss a new story

_Elsa_

Lunch is ready to go, so they pay and head on over to the park.

Elsa tells Tiffi that she found some very interesting twin information online. 

“Did you know that there is a special language between twins,” questions Elsa.  

Elsa opens up here laptop and they both take a seat on the bench.  

There are some things you will never understand if you're not a twin. There's a special language between twins. Twins have been described as "a family within a family" because they tend to form an entire relationship with one another that's completely separate from the rest of their family. Their relationship with their twin also develops into their primary relationship in a family. This is why 40% sets of twins have their own languages when they're young and why I've come across several twins that can't stand being apart too much. These circumstances are hard to explain to someone who isn't a twin and can make people frustrated sometimes, but it just comes with the territory.   (Info from here) 

“Wow, I didn’t know that,” says Tiffi. “There is so much out there on twins and yet I never thought of researching this until Jean-Luc found out that he has an identical twin. Do you know that firstborn twins share the same characteristics as a first-born child?” 

She shows Elsa an article on being born first vs born second.  

“After reading this article I realize that Kimmy has similar traits,” Tiffi says. “Kimmy does try to act superior at times thinking that because she’s older than me she knows more than me.”

Simply by being a couple's first child, a firstborn will naturally be raised with a mixture of instinct and trial-and-error. This often causes parents to become by-the-book caregivers who are extremely attentive, stringent with rules, and overly neurotic about the minutiae. This, in turn, may cause the child to become a perfectionist, always striving to please his parents. Firstborns bask in their parents' presence, which may explain why they sometimes act like mini-adults. They’re also diligent and want to excel at everything they do. As the leader of the pack, firstborns often tend to be: Reliable, Conscientious, Structured, Cautious, Controlling and Achievers. (Info from here)

Elsa thinks that together they have more than enough information to create a follow up story to the Nutcracker having an identical twin. They head on back to the candy store and Elsa picks up her Easter candy. She tells Tiffi that should would love to co-author this story with her and when Tiffi finishes gathering all the facts she needs to email them so that she can get the story going. 

Hugs and kisses goodbye. 

Let's continue with the next part of our story – Tiffi gathers her info for the new story

Start at the beginning – Tiffi co-authors another story – It’s a twin thing! (Sequel to "The story of Jean-Luc") 

If you have not yet read the story of how Nutcracker learns that he has a twin, then please read The story of Jean_Luc first.
