As far as my experience as being a twin goes, it's just like having a 
regular brother or sister. It might be different with identical 
twins, though. My sister is more of a friend than an actual sister, 
though, because we share the same group of friends.

Actually that reminds me of a funny story... when I was about 16, my  
twin sister and I were getting a lift home with a friend and the 
friend's parents. My sister and I told the parent that we lived 
together - unfortunately the parent didn't grasp the fact that we 
were twins and actually though that we were *living together*, in the 
non family context!

And when we went to get our drivers' licences, the driving instructor 
asked Amy (my twin) if I was her boyfriend. Amy replied, 'No!' with a 
suitable amount of disgust <g>

I can't really think of any downsides of being a twin. Like everyone 
else, I've always wished that I had an identical twin! Sometimes I'd 
prefer it if I had a twin brother rather than a twin sister, though, 
but everything thinks that sort of thing.
