Totally. And this is a family dynamic I don't think we've seen on the show before? I think that when we have had some sibling rivalry or one feeling overshadowed it is because they have to live up to their older sibling because they are an achiever. Now the pressure is different but the emotional reaction is similar. I wonder what Mom and Dad's reaction is going to be when the twins start having their teenage angst moments too.
