Unalike Allies
Growing up with my two cousins, BreAnne and Bailey, was like growing up with two sisters. From the time they were waddling around in diapers to the time the youngest one walked across the stage at graduation, I have watched them both grow up and evolve into two very different people. Therefore, it confused me whenever people would tell them “You two could be twins!” As we all grew older, however, I began to understand. From the outside looking in, these girls could very well be identical twins; in reality, they couldn’t be more different if they tried.
The outward similarities are shocking. Both have lightly tanned skin and big brown eyes. Their noses are sprinkled in freckles and their cheeks flush easily. High cheekbones run in the family, along with long dark eyelashes and big round eyes. Both of the girl’s eyebrows pull down into a deep furrow when they are upset; when they are suspicious, they raise their right one high and purse their lips. BreAnne, the older sister, has light brown hair that falls just above the middle of her back in loose waves. Bailey’s dark blonde hair reaches slightly lower than the middle of her back and is straight as a pin. Identical bone structure, stature, and eyes make it difficult for people to tell them apart, and if it weren’t for the difference in hair color they could pass as identical …show more content…
Although they look alike in nearly every feasible way, they think very differently and often disagree. They have had their fair share of arguments, just like any other pair of siblings, but despite their differences, they have always supported each other in their personal endeavors. Just because people look alike, whether they are siblings or not, does not mean they are similar; just because they are different does not mean they can’t care for one another and work
