It’s like having two identical toy cars that look exactly the same and do everything the same way, they just happen to be separate cars.
Imagine you have a box full of identical building blocks. Every block is the same size, shape, and color. If you take out two blocks, it's hard to tell them apart because they’re so similar. That’s what happens with identical twins like Eden Sher, they come from the same source, just like those blocks.
Like Sharing a Cookie
When a mom or dad makes a cookie, sometimes they split it into two equal parts. Each part is still a cookie, just smaller. Identical twins are kind of like that cookie: they both came from the same starting point, but now they're separate people with their own lives.
Copycats from the Inside
Think of your favorite shirt, if you had an exact copy of it, you’d have two shirts that look and feel the same. Identical twins are like those exact copies inside your body. They share the same genes, just like your shirt and its copy would share the same fabric.
So Eden Sher, being one of the twins, is like one of those two identical cookies or shirts, very similar to her twin, but still her own special person.
Examples
- Two babies born from the same egg, just like how you and your brother or sister can be very similar.
- A single egg splits into two, creating identical siblings who share all their genes.
- Just like when a cookie is cut in half, twins come from one egg splitting into two parts.
