4-year-olds insist they’re twins because they “have the same birthday and the same soul”

Jia Sarnicola and Zuri Copeland don’t subscribe to the rules of society or science.

That’s because they make their own.
So, if you tell the 4-year-old that they aren’t twins because they have different color skin, the answer you’re going to get from them is: “You don’t know anything.”

From a spiritual standpoint, these kids might be right.

While the girls are aware that they don’t look alike, they say that they have a bond that goes deeper than friendship or blood.
“We are twins because we have the same birthday and the same soul,” Jia told another child who challenged the notion that she and her bestie were twins.

While Jia, who is white, and Zuri, who is black, might not be biologically related they still might be technically twins according to a theory that Plato had about 2,500 years ago.

In Symposium, he stated that humans originally had two sets of body parts.
They were basically two humans combined into two attached bodies that shared a soul.

Since Zeus was afraid that these perfect and powerful human beings would rise up against him, he split them in half forcing the two separated halves to search for each other for all eternity.

So, maybe Jia and Zuri really do share a soul.

Either way, that’s their story, and they are sticking to it.
“They will tell you that they are twins and they have a long list of reasons why to back it up,” Jia’s mom Ashley Sarnicola said.

Their mothers say that both girls are bursting with energy and have big hearts and love to care for others.

And both these girls have big opinions they love to voice if that wasn’t already obvious.
Their birthdays are just two days apart which makes them both Gemini’s whose astrological symbol is twins.

Jia and Zuri also love to wear matching outfits and sing and dance.
“I think that’s one of the nice things about growing up in a multicultural, melting pot city,” Ashley Sarnicola said. “They don’t see color. We’ve never talked to them about it, period.”

But the moms are aware that their rosy-colored view of the world might not last forever.
“You know, you’re happy for a few seconds and then you become sad because they have to grow up – and then society takes over,” Zuri’s mom Valencia Copeland said.

They’re already doing it, which places them in the perfect position to change how society views people as different from one another.
Zuri’s older sister Victoria Williams shared the story about the two girls on social media after she had been informed by the 4-year-olds about how they share a soul.

It didn’t take long for this sweet story of friendship between these soul sisters to go viral. That post has since been liked more than 68,000 times.
