It's impossible to tell. It reads like a riddle.

What's the source of this conversation?
It looks like R is purposefully trying to be vague.
Maybe R meant that he and Frankie were born at the same time or day. This was my first thought. If so, they would have the same date of birth without being twins or even siblings.
