I just mentioned something about me in the AIP board which inspired the idea for this thread. Not many people know this about me, but I was born a twin. My twin, however, was a stillborn and very badly deformed due to my mother having excess amniotic fluid. It's a miracle that I was the extremely healthy baby that I was. As a side note, if my twin had lived, I was born first, so I would have been the older. When my little sister was born, the doctors described our very bonded relationship as fitting perfectly with the "twin syndrome" that twins often exhibit. We did things when we were younger that twins sometimes do, like create our own language (which I can't recall for the life of me), we were inseparable, and we often felt each other's feelings and couldn't stand seeing the other hurt in any way. Interestingly, everybody thought that we were twins, being that, for many of our childhood years (until I started second grade or so) we shared the same height, weight, hair color, and clothes style. Our own mother couldn't tell us apart, even though we are almost two years apart.

So tell me something about you that the boards don't know!

Nice idea!!

Hmm... something the board doesn't know about me...

I have been told by my mom that I am an "Old Soul". She said that I used to know things that a really young kid shouldn't know.

Her favorite story is from when I was 4 years old. She bought chocolate covered donuts from the store and when she was putting the stuff away, she went to put the donuts on top of the fridge. Well, there was a window above the fridge, so I told her not to put them there. She, thinking I'm being silly or whatever, ignored me and put the donuts away.

The next morning we were in the kitchen and when she opened the box of donuts, all of the chocolate had melted all over because of the sun coming through the window. She said she looked over at me sitting at the kitchen table and that I had my head cocked to the side with this odd little "I told you so" smile. HA!!

Ever since then she swore that I had "been here before"!!! LOL!!!

That's really interesting, Coley! I've been told by someone before that they thought that I must have been a cat in a past life, because I reminded them of one. lol!

When I was younger, though, I was just concerned with catching snakes, spiders, salamanders, frogs, turtles, etc! I don't think I would have ever given anyone reason to believe that I was an "Old soul," as you put it! Haha!
