Editor's note: This article was originally published on August 24, 2023. It has since been updated. Sammie Nowakowski and Stephanie Buckman are identical twins. Despite how similar they look, one would imagine that at least their families could tell them apart. However, that is true for most of their family members except Buckman's son Noah. In a cute video posted on their TikTok channel @thetoxtwins, Nowakowski and Buckman are seen sitting on the ground wearing the same black outfits with their arms open. Buckman is seated on the left, and Nowakowski on the right. In the first round, Noah runs to her mother but once they switch places, he gets confused and by the end of it, he looks more perplexed about whom to choose.

Identical twins test whether their toddlers and dogs can tell them apart. It was adorably hilarious.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

The heartbroken sister of a Black woman shot dead by police after calling 911 for help has revealed the texts they exchanged before the horrific death. Sonya Massey ducked and apologized to an Illinois sheriff’s deputy seconds before he shot her three times in her home, with one fatal blow to the head. "Today is about peace, today is about my big sister. It’s not about that man that’s gonna rot in jail, it’s about my big sister," Massey's younger sister, Breeanna Toles, said at her funeral on Friday.

A woman has taken to Reddit to ask for advice on her 5-year-old sister, who says she can't marry her fiance, 24, because she's in love with him - and has even hit her over it.

'My 5-year-old sister can't come to my wedding unless she sees a therapist'

Twinsburg, OH

Editor's note: This article was originally published on December 6, 2022. It has since been updated. Briana and Brittany Deane hated each others' boyfriends as teenagers. "So often, we were in relationships with singletons who didn't understand our twin sister bond," Briana, one half of the identical twin sisters pair, told Insider. Deep down, the sisters nurtured a shared dream of marrying a set of identical twin brothers. "I think there was some underlying stress that if one of us got too serious with a singleton guy, then it would ruin this dream we had, which was always our hope, even though others told us it was unrealistic," Brittany said. So when Briana and Brittany met identical twins Josh and Jeremy Salyers at the 2017 Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio, they knew they'd found something special.

Twin sisters married twin brothers. Their kids are technically cousins but genetically brothers.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on January 20, 2023. It has since been updated. Kids sometimes speak the truth in the simplest way possible. They do not know how to mince words and that's the best part about them. In a video uploaded on Reddit, a child had an important point to make to her brother who wanted to eat at McDonald's. She says to him, “Why do you want McDonald’s when she didn’t even get paid yet?” He responds, "Ya I want. I was gonna starve." She straight away tells him, "Starve on that's what you can do and that's what you can do." He says, "You starve on." She gets upset and tells him in an angry tone, "Because my ma doesn't have the money yet." Her expressions are just like an adult in the video and it's hilarious to watch it. The video has about 55,000 upvotes and is captioned, "Sticking up for her mum because she hasn't been paid yet."
