Yes, telepathy. One obscure trait the media has attributed to twins. I suppose I can guess where this myth's origins are rooted: I will not deny that twins think similarly, even to the point of saying a phrase in unison. Can anyone guess why that may be?

Oh, come now, let's see some hands.

No one? Well, here it is, plain and simple: WE LIVE TOGETHER. Rarely are we out of each other's company. Being the same age, we are in the same grade, perhaps the same class. We are familiar with one another's reactions to things. When one is so close to someone for that extent of time, both parties' thought processes will rub off on the other. We know how the other thinks without having to venture inside their brain.

Circumstances may be manipulated to suggest otherwise, but the truth remains: We cannot read minds.
