Sister, sister

People are always asking me how Penny is different from Carolyn. Maybe I have the shortest long-term memory in history, but they're not different at all. They are both really laid back, both smiley, both great eaters. And, their physical development is nearly identical.

I bring this up because I was musing the other day about which one would be the beauty queen. Which the scientist. Which the athlete. Steve pointed out that only TV sisters were exact opposites.

I thought about this and it's true. Real life siblings are generally more similar than they are different, especially when they're very close in age. I thought of a bunch of people I know, and famous people, and this seems to hold true most of the time.

Who knew?

Here's one difference (see below) — Carolyn is way taller than Penelope. Oh, and Penelope has some weird 80s thing going on with her hair.
