Wonder Twins Activate!

If Jen and I ever publish a FAQ, it might just lead with a question that we hear ever-so-frequently in our travels and travails:

Are you sisters?

Perhaps it's the alabaster skin or ginger hued hair we both come by naturally. Or that our ability to finish each other's sentences borders on the uncanny. (Next up? I think we should hone our telepathy skills.)

Generally, questioners drop the subject when we smile sweetly and shake our heads no. Once in a while, however, it takes a bit more effort to dissuade the curious sort. "Cousins, then?" pressed the incredulous clerk we chatted with yesterday. "Nooooo," I said, pausing for emphasis. "Business partners."

I've often heard that people tend to resemble their pets. (Or is it vice versa?) And of course, we all have heard stories about how after years, couples tend to look alike.

But is this true of business partners as well?
