Q. What are some common misconceptions that people have about the two of you because you’re twins?

A. “People ask us all of the time if we can sense where the other is and feel what the other feels.”

Q. Have you ever switched places and taken a test in place of your brother?

Q. What do you want people to know about what it’s like being a twin?
