bombarded by double everything from hiccups, to spit-ups, to bowel movements, to delights. In my previous work life, I was ms. eva clay, president of med Aide, a small medical supply company, but now i was a mom. being a modern mom, I decided that these girls should have their own identities, so andrea and bianca were not dressed alike. however, their pull towards one another was much more powerful than I. many mornings they would run into the kitchen yelling, "today, we want to be twins, mommie." with marvelous enthusiasm, they would run and try to piece together reasonably matching kmart outfits. at mt. Sky elementary school in flagstaff, arizona, as they played soccer, one seemed to be telepathically connected to the other. Andrea knew where Bianca was, and many balls went through the goal posts. When playing pictionary with the family, the twins were not allowed to be on the same side. a dot or slight mark was enough for the other to guess the object. today, Bianca is a news reporter for kvue, austin, texas. Andrea is an architectural engineer, working in a firm in boulder, Colorado. Their paths have separated, and they have selected different careers. However, they still charm and enthrall us.
