A 22-year-old lady has one body with two heads but her parents insist she is not one person but rather �they� are twins with one body conjoined from the chest and below.
Abigail and Brittany recently turned 22 years and have lived their entire lives believing they are two distinct human beings.
According to the Daily Mail, the girls buy two seats every time they go to the cinema � even though only one will be used. They have separate meals and two different birthday cakes with candles each year and if one of the twins misbehaves, their parents, Patty and Mike, are careful to scold the individual responsible � even if the other has been dragged unavoidably into the misdeed.
Yet, while the twins have developed their own tastes in food, drink, clothes and separate personalities, their body works as one � although they have different urges to eat and sleep.
When they eat, they have separate plates. One of them holds the fork and the other the knife to cut the food, and then take turns to put the meal in each other�s mouth.
What is perhaps most touching about Abigail and Brittany, however, is their ability to get on � despite their different personalities. They seldom argue, despite Abigail always wanting to be the leader and � according to their mother � liking �to rule the whole house�.
One twin will scratch an itch the other cannot reach or hold her hand still so the other can count during a maths lesson and when Brittany was ill with pneumonia and couldn�t keep the medicine down, Abigail volunteered to take it in the hope of making her twin better.
