I was sitting next to a lady at lunch today from a meeting we had, whom I didn’t know, and like most everyone, she noticed that Chase and I are different handed. Lunch apparently makes this stand out when we are sitting near each other and eating. I just acknowledged it, but didn’t really get into telling her that we are actually mirror image twins. She was fascinated just by the fact of being different handed, and had the place not been so loud and hard to hear, I would have explained it to her.
Mirror image twins are created when the fertilized egg splits quite late (around days 9-12), any later and twins can be co-joined.
Mirror image twins have small mirror image differences but are actually genetically identical; this means you have the exact same DNA! Source

Never knew about mirror twins! Opposite handed, huh? Fascinating. You have now revealed how to tell you two apart—watch you eat! or write!
