The Synatsaki sisters may not look that much alike, but the similarities and differences in their personality puzzle hold pleasant surprises, καθώς στα πρώτα πέντε λεπτά καταλαβαίνει κανείς ότι η παρουσιάστρια της οικογένειας είναι πιο χαμηλών τόνων και πιο «φιλήσυχος» άνθρωπος από την εκφραστική και «ατακαδόρισα» τραπεζική υπάλληλο.
There is, finally, karmic relationship between the twins;
MARY SYNATSAKI: When I see Alice crying, i cry too, even if I don't know what's wrong with her. Even on the phone, at the first rant I'll hear from her, I'm going to cry.
ALIKE SYNATSAKIS: I won't forget, in our summer house in Saronida, when Lady Diana died, while I didn't care, Mary was crying a black tear and so was I. I was telling her, Well, “Stop it. Why should we both go through it together?;».
M. S.: With our father, Nevertheless, something metaphysical is happening. He happened to call us, seconds before something critical happens: a crash, a petty theft. And his question, directly: "What happened?;». It is so special that from the first second of your existence, you are with another person. This "together" also defines you in a way, Yes, it is metaphysical after all.
How your parents raised you;
M. S.: It was forbidden to wear the same clothes! They became parents in 26 them and until the last moment they did not know that they were expecting twins. They found out seven days before we were born. Mom had a huge belly, while before 28 years, ultrasounds were not sophisticated. They teased her by telling her: "You will keep a cinnamon roll for me too;».
A. S.: Our hearts were in sync and the doctor could only hear two: ours and our mother's. Seven days before we were born he finally heard our hearts and got three legs. He sent her for an x-ray. And so they saw that there were two of us.
You were in the same section at school;
A. S.: We were together, but we had different company. Only in 3rd high school did we have a common company. We never sat at the same desk. Luckily we weren't fighting over clothes, because we didn't fit in the same.
M. S.: In the context of standing out, when you're a twin - whether or not you look alike- you choose the ends. I started out as a fussy one and Alice calm, then I calmed down and Alice was unruly. She was afraid, I was bold, then the roles were reversed.
A. S.: As one changed, the other was also changing.
Πού δίνετε μεγαλύτερη βαρύτητα; Στις σχέσεις ή στις φιλίες σας;
M. S.: Εγώ απέκτησα πραγματικούς φίλους, μετά τα 20. Ήταν δύσκολο κομμάτι η φιλία. Πάντα είχα ένα αγόρι, ήμουν πιο πολύ της σχέσης. Because, Well, I slowly developed the friendship, I appreciate her more. Moreover, it is a more difficult relationship than love. Maybe I would have found it more passable and clearer to bond with a boy, while in friendship things are more complicated.
A. S.: I, on the other, I didn't have many relationships, but many friends. Growing up, I value my friends differently, but now I'm more interested in taking care of my love relationships. I must have neglected them.
M. S.: Now, Nevertheless, where me too my boyfriend is friends with my friends, it's the perfect combination.
You stay alone;
A. S.: We are left alone from the 18 us. When our parents divorced, we were at the end of high school. Because the house was ours, they let us stay there and each found a smaller house for himself.
M. S.: Their act was generous and helped us a lot in our life. But we had the support of our parents and the grandmother who lived upstairs. We did not take all the responsibility of things upon ourselves. We were protected, within the environment where we grew up.
Your parents' divorce, when you were 18 years, what effect did it have on you?;
M. S.: In the beginning, I took it cooler than,what would be healthy. I rationalized it. I had a slight delay in my reaction. It took almost two years for me to feel strange and distressed. Alice had a more immediate reaction.
A. S.: Not very immediate. I was also six months or a year late. The fact that we were 18 years old, it may have spared us childhood traumas. From here on, I think the reaction of these two people and how they "made" all this around us was very important.
M. S.: We didn't have the drama you hear about in other breakups. Our parents were discreet and never fought in the house. Energetically, you might be catching something in the air, but we never saw traumatic images, with hatred and malice.
A. S.: Besides, as soon as they too came to their senses and recovered, we realized that it was the right choice after all. On our birthday, especially, we all get together and it's a mess.
