How to field questions about my twins? The more smartaXX the better!

Question

My fraternal twins (that means NOT identical) are six years old now. From day one while out in public people would stop me and ask if they were twins. What a stupid question! I always wanted to say, "No I stole one from the hospital." My husband actually did tell someone one time that one was mine and one was his...LOL. Now the issue is one is taller than the other and people just can't leave it alone. This question is driving me up a wall!

Answer 1

my twin and i got this all the time.  We are fraternal but look just a like.  We would say "Is that why we share the same birthday??"

Duh!!

Answer 2

no, they just have the same birthday.

they were on sale 2 for 1

Answer 3

spank them

Answer 4

That a cute thing you should be proud of it & love every minute of it. When they grow up it will make you smile wat ppl used to say & then u had a tell tale to tell abt to them, & their kids.. Its a cute thing..  =)

You know ppl are just curious always just like" Curious george" thats good to know u & your husband have a humor abt it.. & as far as there height, dont worry I had cousin in ur situation but they both turned out well when they grow up. every one is different. You wouldn't knew if u have birth them separately that one of them was taller or smaller in that specific age.. & boys grow slower then gals & in there teens they will shoot the height.. You have made a lovely life & enjoy every moment of it.. People will always bug u but dont let it bug u in anyway. (its wat ppl do..thats there job ;) ) ..  =)

Answer 5

LOL I hate stupid questions about children, My oldest daughter was 2 months old, dressed in all pink with a dress and pink hairbow, Someone asked is that a boy, I said yes he is 2 months old, I got a rude look than the idiot said you shouldn't dress your son in a dress. Seriously, I love the fact your hubby said one is your and one is his though

Answer 6

just do what my friend and his twin does when people ask "no we arent twins I'm the spawn of satan and he's just a spider monkey"

Answer 7

Just say "My God, you mean there's TWO of them??? I thought there was more laundry than usual...."

Answer 8

My twins are identical so that question really drives me up the wall.  I always tell people that one is mine and the other is my husbands girlfriend.  That shuts them up.  Have fun with it, it is so much funnier when people drop their jaw on the floor.

Answer 9

I understand that repetitive questions and unsolicited attention from strangers can get annoying but people are naturally curious and lets face it twins whether identical or fraternal are special. Your body did an amazing thing by simultaneously releasing two eggs that gave you your two children.

Instead of getting annoyed, just politely tell them yes and be happy that people find your children so special that they take interest in them.
