That's not a bad analogy, but you have to be very careful here because no classical analogy can be a perfect fit for entanglement. The wave function is deeply and fundamentally different than our classical reality, and there is no way to reproduce its behavior classically. Among the fundamental differences is the fact that classical information can be copied but quantum states cannot be cloned. This is IMHO the single biggest disconnect between the wave function and classical reality because the nature of our (classical) existence is fundamentally intertwingled with copying (classical) information. It is happening right now even as you read this. Information is being copied out of my brain onto the internets and into your brain. At the same time, all our cells are busily copying the information in our DNA, and so on and so on.
