Do you share your food easily? With whom, and why?

“No I’m not, give me half of yours,” she said.

“Out of my mouth?” I asked.

“Don’t have anymore,” I told her. She gave me the sad face.

Once I was chewing gum. Tracy, then seventeen looked at me.

She even used my tooth brush once.

I did and she popped it in her mouth and continued to chew it. I stared at her with a surprised look.

What are the pros and cons of living in Male, Maldives?

I don’t. Do not touch the food on my plate, do not take a sip out of my glass, do not sip out of my straw, do not put something off your plate onto mine.

To put a face to my story, Tracy from her college yearbook.

“WHAT? Are you kidding?” I said to her surprised.

What is your opinion about homosexuality? Do you think that it is by nature or a choice?

“I couldn’t find mine so I used yours RJ,” she told me. I looked at it. She left the bathroom.

“Yeah, out of your mouth. Where else?”

“Give me half of yours,” she said.

What are scads fish? What types are there?

“I’ll get one next time. I’m in a hurry.”

“What?” she said. “Dad always told us we were made of the same stuff.”

I yelled after her, “THERE’S NEW BRUSHES IN THE CUPBOARD TRACY!”

Why are there so many girls and not enough boys to follow?

My older sister Tracy was the opposite. Her twin Lori was more like me, don’t touch my food.

“Can I have a gum?” she asked.

I’ve always been like that.

Should I have left it alone and kept quiet? I came out as gay to my adult kids last week. Age 61 married 15 years, divorced for 20. I feel so guilty for ruining their lives by living a lie.

I stared at my toothbrush. Then dropped it in the garbage can. I grabbed a new one. I was not like Tracy at all however, Tracy and I are close. We are so much alike in our ways that mom said we were twins born apart and attached by the soul. So to Tracy, she loved that, and doing things like that with her brother didn’t bother her a bit.
