It's
one of the most unusual birthday parties you will ever see. Ronnie and
Donnie Gaylon are the oldest conjoined twins in the world.
They turned 63 and that means they are beating the odds, living longer
than anyone ever expected with good heath and treatment.
Ronnie
and Donnie are joined at the sternum. They agree on everything they do.
Except watching TV. The brothers have separate televisions.
The conjoined twins live in Dayton, Ohio, and support themselves partly from the money they earned by traveling the world.
World's
Oldest Conjoined Twins Celebrate 61st Birthday Today, the twins prepare
for a special day of birthday celebrations, first by shaving each
other. Next, the twins get dressed and their brother, Jim and his wife,
Mary, help the brothers put on their matching shirts.
Mary explains how she makes their four-legged pants.
"I take two pair of pants and I take them apart then I sew a panel in the middle," said Mary.
Then, they slip into their custom made wheelchair and it's off to the Golden Nugget cafe for a delicious birthday breakfast.
After some birthday kisses from the staff, the brothers enjoy their favorite meal of eggs, biscuits and gravy.
