Tiffi continues on with her googling.
There's also a lot of pride in being the firstborn twin……..
A big question that twins always get is "Who's older?" It's one question that the older twin is always quick to answer because to some twins, it's a pretty big deal. While some twins have been born hours apart, most are born within minutes of each other. Regardless of the timing though, the older one tends to feel superior. And speaking from personal experience, they will likely hold that insignificant fact over their twin's head for the rest of their lives.
Scientists have done some interesting studies to evaluate the role of birth order in the development of personality. Some studies have theorized that first-born children have more self-esteem and higher IQs, while lastborns tend to be more relaxed and irresponsible. Birth order for twins isn't necessarily preordained, either. The babies' order of birth is determined by their position in the womb, which can change throughout pregnancy. In some cases, which baby is born first depends on how the mother delivers; the order might be switched if the mother had a Cesarean section rather than vaginal delivery. So how do you explain the manifestation of birth order characteristics in the personalities of individual multiples? Certainly, there are many examples of twin sets where the firstborn twin is a dominant leader and the secondborn is a subdued follower. (Info from here)
Tiffi never gave much thought to twins and birth order. But now that she thinks about it, there might be some relationship between being the first twin born vs being the first born in your family. Kimmy does try to act superior at times thinking that because she’s older than me she knows more than me.
Very interesting information! Tiffi can’t wait to meet up with Elsa tomorrow.
Let's continue with the next part of our story – Tiffi and Elsa get together
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.
