Some of them are pretty funny and others I just can&#8217;t believe someone would ask you such a thing. I&#8217;ll have to put together my top 15 questions list after the first year or so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. &#8220;I could never do it.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nOh really. What would you do? Would you put them on the curb with signs around their necks that say, &#8220;Free to a good home. My mom can&#8217;t do it.&#8221;?<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. &#8220;Do they have different personalities?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nNo. They are the same human being divided into several parts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. Said by a stranger, &#8220;They&#8217;re identical, right?&#8221; Mom answers, &#8220;No. They&#8217;re fraternal.&#8221; Stranger response, &#8220;They are NOT!&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nOK. You&#8217;re right. I have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about. These are not my children. I thought it would be fun to borrow them from a mom down at Baby Gap. It&#8217;s been more than an hour. I guess I should return them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. &#8220;Are they &#8216;paternal&#8217; twins?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. They have a father. There was only one virgin birth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>11. &#8220;Just wait till they&#8217;re older. It only gets harder.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nThank you. I woke up this morning hoping I&#8217;d receive a word of discouragement while pushing a cart of preschoolers down the cereal aisle.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n10. &#8220;When one cries, does he wake the other?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nNo. Multiples cannot hear each other&#8217;s cries because they all communicate with their special telepathic language only.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. From a perfect stranger: &#8220;Were they in the same sac?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nHello. Nice to meet you, too. Will you be sharing your gynecological history with me as well?<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. &#8220;Are they developmentally behind?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nWell, let&#8217;s see. They&#8217;re 3 years old and thus far, all their graduate school applications have been denied. We&#8217;ll get back with you on that.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n7. &#8220;How do you do it?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nHaven&#8217;t you seen the Nike commercials?<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. &#8220;Are they natural?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nNope, their arms and legs are made of silicone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. &#8220;You must be SO busy.&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nAre you volunteering to clean my house?<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. &#8220;Did you take drugs?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nWell, there was this one time in college&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. &#8220;What do you do when they all cry at the same time?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes I cry. Sometimes I go to Starbucks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Said to a mom of boy\/girl twins: &#8220;Are they identical?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nUh. Not exactly.<\/p>\n<p>And No. 1. Drum roll please. . . .<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. After a stranger had been informed that the toddler boys were twins, she asked a simple question:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Are they brothers?&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>\nEnough said.<\/p>\n<p>HAHA, I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ll get some similar questions to these and I&#8217;ve even heard a complete stranger asking a mother of twins if she breastfed them.  I&#8217;m sorry, but I&#8217;m not going to talk about that with a complete stranger&#8230;but I better get used to it I guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are the top 15 questions from one twin mom and her answers.
