Twins and Names by Annie.C

Annoying things are all part of our daily life. There are some bothering things though that normally do not annoy certain people... My name is Annie and I have a twin named Florence. E-ve-ry single day someone mistakes me for my twin. At the end of my classes at school, usually it really starts to get on my nerves. It might not sound like a lot but it's very annoying. First of all we do not even look alike and people all have different opinions on how we look. Secondly, every time I get called " Florence", the person and myself always get very confused.

Firstly, Florence and I are not identical twins! The problem with people is that they seem to think that: our hair is the same, our face is the same, our height, style and even our laughs are identical for them! What annoys me the most though is that they believe that our attitudes are the same too. No not everyone is annoying like that but the majority of people are. Yet, our differences are right in front of them! My hair is brown hers are golden auburn, my eyes are blue hers are grey/green, I am also way taller than her. Our attitudes our completely different too. We're both funny girls, but Florence loves rude sports and arts like drawing and paint. I dislike arts but don't mind watching her draw with her skillful talent of comic drawings. I don't like rude sports but I'm in love running which she hates. So when people ask me :" Florence, why weren't you at your rugby practice last Monday?" Guess what? You guessed the wrong name. That's another thing also, people guess our names. I might as well write my name on a cardboard and glue it on my forehead.
 

The next thing that annoys me when people call me by the wrong name, is that it's not only them getting confused but also me! Every time someone calls me by the wrong name, I never turn around because obviously I think they're calling to someone else. They usually ask themselves what's wrong with me before coming over to ask if I'm deaf. Then, I'm just wondering why they are talking to me about my rugby game, before realizing they mean my sister. A girl was already scared by me and my twin by seeing the " same person" in a room that my twin had just left. Turns out that person was me. She told me she thought I was teleporting or something. For a second there I got very mixed up.

In conclusion, I get very annoyed and confused almost everytime someone calls me by m sister's name,Florence. Why? People don't seem to realized that we are not one bit alike from the bottom to the top. Also, the poor person that is unfortunate enough to call me or my sister by the wrong name ends up getting very confused ans so do I. Trust me there are some advantages on people getting mixed up with your names and appearances. We used to exchange places in class. There's unfortunaly some disadvantages too. Nexttime you see  twin and accidently call her by the wrong name, at least you can think of this blog and have a big laugh about it. Because yes, sometimes it can be  funny and surprising. Sometimes I joke about it and say:'' I'm lucky, I have a mirror following me everywhere I go!''.
