Black and white twin sisters Kian (left) and Remee (right), When a friend sent me the picture above yesterday, I couldn’t help but be in awe at the wonders of God’s creation.
One is black and has big brown eyes. The other is a blue-eyed blonde with the palest of skin. Remarkably, Kian and Remee are twins, born a minute apart.
The pair owe their appearance to a one in a million combination of their parents’ genes. Mother Kylee Hodgson and father Remi Horder both have white mothers and black fathers.
The startling result is a two-tone set of delightful little girls. They first attracted international attention when they were featured in the Mail at less than a year old.
‘They are such a perfect example of how it should be,’ their mother told the Mail. ‘They are not bothered about their skin colour. It’s not the big issue everyone else seems to see it as. It isn’t important to them at all – it’s about what they’re like underneath.’
Kian and her 60-second older sister were delivered in April 2005 by caesarean section. The twins are in different classes at primary school, and have different interests
Kylee, now 25, recalls the moment she saw them for the first time: ‘I noticed that both of them had beautiful blue eyes,’ she said.
‘But while Remee’s hair was blonde, Kian’s was black and she had darker skin. To me, they were my kids and they were just normal. I thought they would start to look the same as time went on.
