Being a twin for close to 21 years now there are plenty of stupid things I have been asked or been told regarding my twin-ness. Here are just some of the things all twins must be tired of hearing.
1. "Wait, I didn't know you were a twin! That's so cool!"
I mean, I guess? We are just siblings.
2. "Are you two identical?"
Well, he's my twin brother and I'm a girl so what do you think?
3. "Do you look alike??"
Again, are we identical if we are a boy and a girl? Do you and your siblings look alike?
4. "Which of you is older? I would hold that over my twins head if I had one."
Does it really matter? It's only by like 2 minutes?
5. "Are you guys like the same person?"
Lol nope. Think again.
6. "I wish I had a twin, that would be so fun."
Yeah...no, you wouldn't. I don't think you want to share everything with them.
7. "When you get hurt does your twin feel it too?"
Are you being serious right now??
8. "Can you like.. read each others minds?"
You've been watching too much tv, no that's not really a thing.
9. "Do you guys do everything together?"
No, and no we don't like the same things.
10. "What is it like to be a twin?"
Think of it like this: It's like you have a sibling. Crazy right?
11. *Shows a picture of my twin* "But you guys don't look like twins"
Woah really? I'm shocked.
12. "Which of you is the favorite?"
Me, duh. (We all think we are the favorite)
13. Being referred to as "The Twins"
Yes, it may be a surprise to you but we are indeed different people that should be referred to as such.
14. "Did you ever pretend to be each other to play tricks on people?"
Yeah, but it never worked because my brother and I clearly didn't look as much alike as we're not identical twins.
15. "Do twins run in your family?"
Please, just stop.
16. "Who's the smarter one?"
Both of us are pretty smart.
17. "You must be really close!"
I hardly see my twin and when we do we talk but we are far from close.
18. "So are you normal? Because I've heard that multiples tend to have more problems than others."
Yes...?
19. "Which one is the evil twin?"
That's not a real thing, please stop.
20. "I don't think I'd like to have a twin."
Yeah, you probably wouldn't. Thanks for your input.
