You know who might have had a vanishing twin? Alanis Morissette. She wrote about it in her song “Twist in My Sobriety” (okay, not really—but it would be ironic). In real life, actress Lindsay Lohan claimed she had a vanishing twin, which explains literally nothing but makes a great party fact. “Did you know I beat my twin to the punch? Literally.”
So next time you meet a singleton, give them a wink. They might be a twinless twin, a Stone Age survivor, or just a lucky winner of the most competitive real estate lottery ever—the human womb. And remember: you’re here because you out-kicked, out-punched, or out-absorbed your sibling before you could even say “crib.” Welcome to Earth, you magnificent anomaly.
