Some people have asked whether the girls have displayed any creepy paranormal superpowers like other famous twins -- things like telepathy, bilocation, and the ability to form useful partnerships between animals and items made of water in various states.The answer, surprisingly, is "yes." Except there's nothing paranormal about it.
The girls have always displayed a slightly weird synchronicity. At first it was fully explained by the fact that they were on the same basic three hour cycle, so it was entirely unremarkable that they would do things at basically the same time. That cycle is a lot more flexible now.
But they now seem to be communicating distress to each other. Both girls do this odd sound that I really don't remember Patrick or Charlie doing. It's something between grown-up throat clearing and a growl. Ginger and I call it grumbling, at it happens pretty constantly for both girls -- maybe they have a bad two month case of postnasal drip. In any event, they grumble at each other all the time. And they really grumble when one of them is going through some sort of Disturbance in the Force -- things like pooping. And the weird part is I think they tend to grumble simultaneously from different rooms.
So, it's not nearly as cool as Cheech & Chong's The Corsican Brothers, and it's nowhere near supernatural in origin, but it is funny to watch.
