During high school Spirit Week, they’d allow us to dress out of uniform according to the theme of the day. One of those themes was “Twin Day”. The night before, I went around to all of my friends and told them my plan.

The next morning, some twenty people – including myself – came in dressed as mines. White greasepaint, striped shirts, black lipstick and eyeliner. Kids I didn’t even know where dressed as mimes. Staff was confused and annoyed, and several teachers correctly guessed that I was responsible for the chaos. “It’s TWIN Day, Ship. Not MIME Day!”

“But we’re all twins!” I said. “Twins who also just happen to be mimes!”

They couldn’t argue with that.
