DU twins check in!
I have a twin sister. My boyfriend has an identical twin brother.

Any other twins? What's the dumbest question you get?

I get two of them: First, I'd say 50% of people ask if we're identical. Umm... I'm a guy, she's a gal. So no.

They also always ask if we have ESP.

2. I got triplets here!
Raise you one and....

They are far from identical, have vastly different personalities, but are each other's best friend. Two boys, one girl.

My grandmother had twins. Sadly, they died at birth...during the early part of the 20th century.

There are several sets of twins...all in my mother's family.

3. I'm guilty of crimes against twins...
There were these two girls in high school who were super nice. They were identical twins. They would always say "Hi Stephanie, how are you, blah blah blah" Anyway, I could never figure out which one I was talking to, and I was too embarrassed to fess up and ask how I could tell them apart, especially as more time passed. So I went through four years of high school getting by on "nice to see YOU" "How are YOU" and general "hey"s and such.

4. that's not unusual
with identicals, I'm sure. We had a few sets of them in my high school, and I was friends with some of them, as well as others outside of school. I never knew them to be offended if people couldn't tell who was who.

(their father's) grandmother had 4 sets of twins back in the days when they didnot all live.

My dad's mother had a twin brother.

My daughter (the twin) is trying to get pg again....I hope she has twins.....only because that's what she wants...but it's ALOT OF EMOTIONAL WORK (if you were poor like we were back in th e 60's)

7. i'm not a twin-but I know a dumb question
"What's it feel like to be a twin?" I have had many friends who were twins. here are a couple things they had in common.
I di not now they were twins for like six or seven months. all of them were identical, but none looked like their twin (way different styles) and they were all the left handed twin. it was two twins (from different families) I was good friends with, and three others I knew through work and other friends.
