I Ate My Twin

Could it be true?

Mom told me repeatedly that I had a twin! I always thought she was teasing.

Fact or fiction?

Mom had two boy’s names picked out, Michael and Kenneth.

I’ve never found another lefty in the family tree.

I did not have the ‘traditional side part’.

I always felt out of step, even convinced I was the ‘black sheep of the family’.

I’ve a polythelia. (only happens 6% of the time).

I now believe I ‘ate my twin’ or absorbed my twin. It has a name. ‘Vanishing Twin Syndrome.’

This explains a great deal.

It is true?
