twin stuff

Being a mom to twins, I get asked all kinds of questions. Anything from "are they identical?" to "do twins run in your family?" I have gotten used to it and I figure, eh, comes with the territory. Even the stupid questions. One funny incident that sticks out in my mind is when a cashier at Wal Mart asked me if they were identical. Uh, well, no. One's a boy and one's a girl. (I don't cross dress my children, I always dress them like a boy and a girl) Then she said, "how do you tell them apart?" Uh, again, one's a boy and one's a girl. That helps me tell them apart in case I forget who's who. Yikes, I could probably write a book on all the comments and questions we've gotten. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind questions, comments, etc, but when they are flat out ignorant like that, it's annoying. Another thing that bothers me is when people say, wow, you've got your hands full! To that, I answer if you think my hands are full, you should see my heart. I also get, "did you know your were having twins?" Well, after numerous sonograms, yeah, I was fully aware of this fact. Also, if I had a nickel for every time I get asked "are they twins?" Greyson and Aidan's college tuition would be paid in full. Double stroller, pretty close in size...hmm. Logic people. One time I even got "better you than me." Well, God obviously thought the same, so Ha! Ok, I'm done venting. (for now) I found a really great website that is devoted to twins items and I found a neat mouse pad that I really want. It has the infamous twin questions on there and it has a touch of sarcasm... but I like. :)

1. No they are not identical.
2. Yes I can tell them apart.
3. Yes my hands are full, but my heart is overflowing.
4. Yes twins do run in my family. They run all over the place.
5. I'm glad they're mine and not yours too.
6. Yes they are natural. What's an artifiicial twin anyway?
