"Dad, when he found out that there would be twins, said: "Oh". At first, parents thought that they would have a boy and a girl, and came up with names for them. The boy was supposed to be Sasha, and the girl was Ira. But when we were born - two girls, we were called the same: Ira and Sasha. But it is interesting that since the childhood, the pope had a dream - to have girls immediately twins, and when he found out that there would be a boy and a girl, a little upset. And when we were born, I was very happy. "
"We are constantly confused, so the stories of suchvery much, and in childhood - so in general, because my mother dressed us equally. Once there was an interesting case, - says Ira. - I took a blue pencil from the garden for a while. After the kindergarten we went to visit, and I hid it there under the couch. We left, I forgot to take the pencil and more of it and have not seen it since. But my sister guessed that I feel guilty, I think that I stole it from the kindergarten and did not return it. And she blackmailed me for two years. For example, when we all gathered together for dinner or dinner, it was a tradition that the one who had eaten everything from the table cleans the table, and most often it was my sister. And when the question was about who would clean and wipe the table, she would say: "Ira-ah-ah, do you remember? .." Naturally, I understood what she meant, and I had to do everything for her. One fine day for my mother, of course, guessed everything and asked me. I told her the whole story in tears, and Sasha was scolded for such tricks. "

"Parents did not know until the last that they will have twins, on ultrasound one could not see one because of the other. Dad always jokes: "Waited for one boy, but two girls turned out."
"We often helped each other out when they calledparents, because we are like even voices. When parents called, friends, and one could not answer, the other helped out and talked on the phone. There were cases when business meetings were also held for each other instead of a friend - no one noticed the substitution, and this is to our advantage. Our "identity" is of great help to us even now. We participated in the circus performances and in the show, and now we have a duet of "the same leading" YDI-Show - we perform at many events in Chelyabinsk. As it turned out, people really like twins. "

"Our dad was shocked, because my mom on ultrasound is notsaid that there will be twins. Familiar mothers said that when they saw him, they decided that he was upset. But he soon began to consider himself the happiest pope. "
"We were confused constantly in school and in the kindergarten. Over time, we learned and enjoyed our similarity: I answered phone calls instead of sisters, when she did not want to talk. We have very similar voices. Even now it happens, when I come to my sister's house, and she is busy with something, and let's say her husband calls - I pick up the phone for her and talk with him. He does not even know about the substitution. But our children never confuse us: my sister has two, I have three. They know who their mothers are, because a child's heart can not be deceived. "

"When my mother and father were told that there would be twins,they were so happy that they immediately began to come up with similar names for their kids, waiting for the boys to appear. The fact that two identical girls were born, for them became even greater surprise. The names were not determined right away, but we did not have to live long nameless. "
"For 20 years we are used to the fact that we are confusedeverything, even parents, and it never caused us negative emotions. On the contrary, it's amazing when one of our friends does not fully understand who is talking with, and "gets out" on some phrases, explanations. For example: "Well, tomorrow you're going to?" And if in response he hears a suspicious silence, then clarifies the question with the indication of "where" and only then begins to understand who is in front of him. Since childhood we have responded both to our name and to each other's names. And now, when we have been living in different cities for a long time (Elina in Chelyabinsk, Ilona in Moscow), we turn around habitually when we hear the most native name in the world. Of course, there were some twos at school that were not on the diary. And I had to take the poems and the tests for each other. This, of course, is not so funny, but in memory we have for life. "

"When we were born in Chelyabinsk in 1981, ultrasoundyet was not. Parents, of course, were delighted. Our father really wanted two sons, so he was happy. I was born first - 3 kg, and my brother after 5 minutes second - 1.9 kg. When he was shown to our mother, she asked: "Why is the second child so yellow, skinny and wrinkled?" To which the nurse replied: "Well, if not from the Chinese, then it will turn white and get better."
"There are many such stories, and they continue to happen,but most of all I remember one. I had to shoot ads and went to the office, where I personally should have known one girl. When I came in, I did not see a friend. Literally after a couple of seconds a brunette ran up to me, hugged me and kissed her cheek. Naturally, I also attached her, and then said that I was not Victor, but Eugene. Her face immediately turned purple. When I left after the meeting, I called my brother and again told him: "Thank you for what I have."

"Previously, there was no ultrasound, so only during childbirthparents found out that there would be twins. When my mother gave birth, I did not even suspect that there would be two of us. First one appeared, and then another. This news was very unexpected. My mother even told me that after she had given birth to one she was ready to rest, but the obstetrician said: "Wait, it's too early, not all of it."
"We already enjoyed the first class with my sisterits similarity. Somehow they swapped places at desks, but in the end our plan was revealed. One day they received a passport for each other. Now we remember and think how we could go on such a thing, it's very risky: the handwriting is different, and the document is serious. Often friends confused, young people. The case was when the guy confused me with Ira, raised her in his arms, circled, but when he found out that I was not Ira, but Natasha, I was a little embarrassed. But now we all remember this story together and laugh. "

"Parents knew that there would be twins, since there were already twins in the family. Therefore, for them it was not a surprise. "
"At school we sometimes took exams for each other to different teachers. Nobody noticed the substitution, and everything ended very successfully. Always received "4" and "5".

"Parents were delighted with the double, because it was necessary to hear the first time uttered" Mom-Dad "twice, see the first steps, successes and achievements twice."
"At school and college, we were confused by teachers,asked on subjects one - put the evaluation of the other. In college there was a case: stood on a change with my sister, and then from my back my young man approached Nastya. And I stood next to him and watched, it was interesting, after what time he realized that he had confused. But at the same time, her young man approached, he also realized that there is something wrong here, "says Xenia. - Now we often remember this story with my husband, how could this happen. In fact, we are not so much alike, we even had different hairstyles: I have a square, and Nastya has long hair. We always wanted to be different, we did not like that we were confused. And they always set me up as an example and said: "Now, listen to Nastenka, she's older." And I was so hurt that I was once "late" for 10 minutes! I also remember when the little ones were, they always wanted one house for two and live together with their families. "

"First, parents were waiting for one girl, they wantedcall her Leroy. But later it became clear that there would be twins. Names, we also thought up before birth: Lera remained and the second was to be Rita. But when my mother saw us, she said: "What are you, Lera and Rita? You're Katya and Lisa with me! "
"We did not have situations when my sister and Iconfused, or moments when we enjoyed the fact that we are twins. Outwardly, we were not a copy of each other, usually only voices are alike. But we did not play people on the phone either. "
