LAUREL, Neb. - They say twins feel each other's pain, but 8-year-olds Cassidy and Marissa Wiese of Laurel might have taken that idea a bit too far. In a five-hour span on April 17, both girls had rolling skating accidents that resulted in broken left arms.
Cassidy broke her arm while skating at a friend's birthday party. Later that evening Marissa was demonstrating her skating skill to her mother, Tami, when she fell and broke her arm.
"I just kept saying, 'You have got to be kidding me,'" Tami Wiese said.
The twins were outfitted in matching blue casts. Cassidy was to wear her cast for about three weeks. Because Marissa's break was more severe, she was to wear her cast for six weeks.
Tami said once the pain stopped, the girls quickly began to see the some of the perks of wearing casts.
"You can't believe how much attention they get," Tami Wiese said. "And they love every bit of it."
