For many kids, their parents end up telling them something very bad. Parents will sometimes wait until they think their child is teenage enough to handle shocking news, and other times they will wait until the child is teenage.
The big reveal could be about a divorce or the fact that the child was adopted, but Anna Hipkin was shocked and confused when her parents told her the news.
Anna, 19, talked about how she was told that her brother is actually her twin in a video that was first posted on TikTok. There is nothing too shocking about the news at first, but it gets really weird when you find out that her sibling is five years younger.
Anna wrote in her video, “When you casually get told over lunch by your divorced parents that your 13-year-old brother is actually your twin, but you are 19.”
Like Anna, people in the comments did not understand how that could be, but they did after she posted a second video explaining everything is true. Anna said that her parents got pregnant with both her and her brother through IVF at the same time.
However, they chose to have one baby and freeze the other embryo rather than having twins. Anna said, “Basically, we were both conceived in a dish, and then I was put back in my mom, and then my brother was put in the freezer for five years as an embryo.”
“After five years in the freezer, they said, ‘We will defrost him,'” she said. Good luck to them. He was taken out of the freezer and put back in my mom.
That was nine months ago. We are five years apart in age: I am 19 and he is 13, almost 14. Though we are not exact twins, we are biologically and technically twins.
People who left comments did not agree, writing things like “Is that so, all siblings are twins as long as they share the same parents?” and “How is he your twin?! It does not work that way.
“He is not your twin!” “Huh?” He is not your twin, though. Like all siblings, you get along with each other. It is possible to have twins at the same time.
But others told stories that were similar. “One of my friends is the same,” someone wrote. They had IVF and my friend was born. Ten years later, they had her twin.
To make things even stranger, both of Anna’s original videos have been taken down from TikTok.
