As the father of 6 month old identical twin girls, I would like to hear of
any experience with twins folks on the net have had.  There are
several particular questions not covered well in twin literature:

How does sibling rivalry between twins compare with that of two
    single children?

How does sibling rivalry between twins and a later single child
    compare with that between two single children?

Has anyone experienced the "mystical/psychic/supernatural/whatever" link
    identical twins supposedly sometimes have?

Has anyone had the experience of twins developing their own language
    between themselves?  Has this made it more difficult to teach them to
    talk?

As I said, I would like to hear of any twin experiences that might help
out a new and sometimes bewildered father!

                                           Thanks,
                                           Ben Weber pyuxn!benw
