Conjoined Twins who Share Internal Organs (They are NOT a Sideshow!)

so is the correct terminology conjoined twins i guess that's the most so uh socially acceptable uh we we we're just called we call ourselves hipsters how would you describe to somebody who's not familiar what a hipster is we're joined at the head lukita if somebody wants to be your friend what is the first thing they should do i'm pretty like open to friendship so they don't have to do anything just respect goes both ways when somebody meets you for the first time what do you want them to know we are people does that mean there's people who treat you like you're less than human yeah we have been personally actually called uh like a like aliens looking people um how we are freaks we have been referred to as abominations things like that i'm sorry you have to deal with that that's just not right it's a part of life now how would you describe the emotional impact that had on you growing up it's stung it like as as because feelings like words do hurt but now it's more of a be more creative it's it's not an original insult lupita how would you describe karma's personality loud like my mom um very opinionated she doesn't give a damn about anything um or anyone um she'll do what you gotta do um yeah that's it carmen how would you describe lupita's personality uh good question she she cares a lot um i'm not compassionate but she really is uh she'll understand why people do what they do even if it's not the nicest things i guess and look at the bright side is it easy for you to make new friends it's i guess you can say it's easy but it's just more of a will they stick around because it's obviously an adjustment when we hang out with friends sometimes we'll just we'll stay home um and do hang out at home or their house but when we're in public it's an adjustment for them to see that people are staring at us talking about us or um taking pictures of us things like that are you open to people asking questions we have no problem at um people asking questions it all depends on how the question is asked so like i don't know about this so it's like why just trying to think without swearing that's why sorry people think that we're obligated because we are the way we are that we have to answer absolutely every single question that comes our way even if it's inappropriate or very personal and it's not it's like on a need to know basis um i also lost my train of thought in my opinion we're past the point of um being sideshow attractions and things like that we are we're trying to share our lives the best we can but then again you don't have to know every single bit of part of our lives lupita is there just a list of things you never want to hear from somebody uh are you guys sisters um how do you go to the bathroom um did your mom do drugs when you were when she was pregnant with you okay dad you're not even like you're kind of hacked in the frame so you're all in the frame you look perfect are you ready for the first question sure yeah carmen this will be a question for you how would you describe your family um that's a good question very family oriented lupita same question how would you describe your family uh hectic but great tell me about your family you can you go ahead ladies first oh what um my mom she's very strong um she has a lot of faith in people and uh i guess humanity mom here's a question for you how would you describe your three children oh these are my uh they are wonderful yeah they three together they are kind of my um my life what's your favorite thing to talk about uh animals mostly i guess it's because they don't speak uh and they because they don't have the ability to speak they can't judge you out loud you can see it in their eyes though see there's that humor you were telling me about when did you start using humor to diffuse a situation okay we've dealt with a lot of uh mental health issues for a long time uh it's kind of like a coping mechanism instead of just kind of lashing out if that makes sense from so do you have any mental health diagnoses yeah we have depression uh we have untreated anxiety right now how would you define depression my opinion an overwhelming sense of doom uh if that makes sense that a lot of things can't get better but then again i'm i'm locked in my own head but you gotta just think it can if you just keep on going lupita how would you define anxiety um anxiety is where you can't do anything because you're worried that you're gonna do it wrong i personally don't like when people take pictures of them without asking so i think you know that's you wouldn't like it if somebody did that to you as well um and i do appreciate people do ask because most of the time we'll be like yeah sure or maybe not but just to ask and to be conscious about you know their feelings and put yourself in their shoes when you are about to make a and not a smart comment or you know like point them out or something just come up to them it is better than to just be like oh look look at them you know we prefer for them to come and talk to us if you're at a store and a mom and their child sees you what do you want the mom to say to the child i mean it's not really up to us of what we want them to say it's more of a how will you educate them into show okay so like not just like chew them away or like cover their eyes and kind of just run away it's more of a educating somebody that's not everybody's gonna look different like say the same to you i'm sorry um people are going to be different sometimes mentally or sometimes physically and you just have to accept that i love that good answer they took me a second lupita what would just what would surprise people the most about carmen um that she can drive that that usually surprises people i can't drive carmen is there anything you just fundamentally disagree with lupita on something philosophical something religious spiritual um pineapple does not go on pizza karmy have a very uh good attitude like a lawyer if you had one wish what would it be it would be to reach a place in life where i'm worth independent and also taking care of my family so they don't have to work anymore i love lupita because it's always oh everything is okay no problem like like um like please make it lupita if you had one wish what would it be not so much heat right now it's really hot are you particular in conversation how people refer to youtube should they say you should they say youtube what's the correct terminology when conversing you don't really notice so you can say anything pretty much before we end this interview is there anything left unsaid you would like to say um subscribe to you i know you just started your youtube channel but don't be ashamed to plug your channel us [Music] all
