Bro, that was so funny, pretty much our world in a nutshell…. sometimes I dread going out of the house because of these types of conversations. You should see how people look at us when they see 6 kids ages 4 and under….
Awesome! We have 4 ages 5 & under… The best part about the interrogations I receive is that I have a curb ball. Our two year olds who have the same birthday and are not the same sex (same coloring etc) are not biological siblings. Grin. That really messes the nosie rosies up! Even better is when people then say/imply are baby (23 mo younger than our 2 yr olds) was a “mistake”!!! Grrrr. I just tell them, “No, we knew what we were doing and we just really enjoy the process.” that too keeps people quiet! Grin
Awesome video!
Hah! I don’t have multiples but SO TRUE! I especially love the response to ‘That’s great you have a boy and a girl. You are done.’ I’ve heard that so many times and it shocks me every time.
Hilarious! I got asked twice at target yesterday if Hannah and Elizabeth were twins….I’m pretty sure my almost 3 yr old looks slightly bigger than my barely 1 yr old…but maybe not..
Thank goodness when people ask me if my kids are twins I can say they are a year apart and the conversation ends! And by the way…I do NOT believe mine were more work than yours in the baby stage, mostly because they didn’t demand to eat at the same time!!!
We’ve got one year old boy-girl twins. I’m wondering if these inane conversations will end once they can walk and talk. I was trying to think about which was my favorite part, but every clause of every sentence was pretty much spot on for the daily interaction with people in public.
Absolutely spot on…I actually think running errands makes me more exhausted because of the repeat of this conversation every five steps! It’s always an adventure.
Ugh, I have probably asked some of these questions but hopefully not as persistently! I will be much more courteous next time I see babies/children who appear to be multiples…
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve told people that I have a twin brother, and they’ve asked if we are identical. Um, there are a few basic differences…
Same concept of predictable line of questioning, different context. I’m a white mom with 2 black children. Random white woman know’s somebody who can help me with their hair. Or what am I doing to make them feel black? Um..holding up a mirror?

Oh my word. I have witnessed this! How rude! (althought this video is hilarious.)

Yup! [Father fo twins]
hilarious!!
I have nonbiological triplets and that was pretty awesome!
Nonbiological triplets? You mean they’re robots and not made from organic matter?

As the mother of Irish quads I get all these on a very regular basis. Awesome!

Or this one…”Are you worried about losing them?” I have NEVER asked a pregnant woman that question.
Oh, yah. They’re adopted. I guess that last comment doesn’t make sense if you don’t have that little piece of information!
