I had a classmate named Yannis back in the day. He had two brothers, named Jonas and Juan. Sometimes I wonder what his parents were smoking.
Mary-Joan?
I knew a Juan growing up. He didn't look anything like a Juan. He was more middle eastern looking, and I came to find out years later that he'd been adopted by a Spanish couple as a baby, and that he'd been born in Egypt. When he found out he was adopted he became really interested in learning about it more, and turns out he actually had an identical twin named Amal! I guess the twin stayed in Egypt.
Anywho, they actually got to meet up after years of planning, which I thought was really cool. They had a really touching reunion and bonded pretty quickly, at least from the outside looking in. I felt pretty special getting to see it, cause Juan didn't have a ton of close friends outside of me.
When our other classmates (this is in high school by now) found out about the reunion and that it wasn't bigger news around the school, or that they didn't get to meet Amal there was some backlash.
I tried to cool everyone down by telling them that they are identical twins, if you've seen Juan you've seen Amal.
