*Yes, people have actually said these things to us!
1. Are they twins? Are you kidding me?! You really think people can have kids this close in age (1 minute apart) and they are not twins and I have IDENTICAL twins!!!
2. Double Trouble! How original...
3. Better you then me. Now that is just rude! And my children are glad these people are not their parents!
4. You've got your hands full. I hate to break it to these people, but lots of people have more then TWO kids, mine just happen to be the same age.
5. Are they natural? Okay, do you ever hear some ask a parent of a singleton this one? Just because they are twins doesn't mean someone had fertility treatment, and no we didn't. But if we had they are still "natural" human beings!
6. Do they do everything at the same time (cry, poop, talk)? Yes, we get this all the time.
7. There are TWO of them! Boy now these people are geniuses, huh?
8. Do they have different personalities? They are two different human beings, not clones! Yes they share the same DNA and blood type...but please!
9. How do you do it? Our standard answer..."we don't know any different"
10. When one cries do they wake the other? Okay why do you care and the answer is no most of the time.
So now when you see multiples...you know what NOT to say :)
