Yes, My Twin Sister is Hotter Than Me

It wasn’t easy living with a goddess, but she never asked to be treated that way.

My twin sister, Alicia, is way hotter than me. I’d like to get that out in the open. After thirty-two years I’m at peace with it.

These days, when people try to be cute and say, “I don’t believe you two are twins. Where’s your birth certificate?”

I answer with a swift, “I don’t have it with me, but ask my mom’s vagina if it remembers us, I’m sure it does.”

Yet, I didn’t always have such an aloof attitude about my sister and me resembling Danny Devito and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Twins. Though Alicia is now the best friend I could ask for before I got to know the girl behind the pretty face, my sister’s good looks caused some issues.

Unaware of her influence
