Good thing they have different color hair or we'd get them mixed up

DH and I took the boys to McDonald's to play for a bit (William LOVED it, Jacob wasn't so sure).  While we were eating our food (which IMO is the worst time to approach someone) a woman walked up and said "oh twins", "this one has dark hair and this one has light hair, that's how you tell them apart huh", I just replied "yep" and left it at that.  I understand that twins are "neat", I always thought they were neat, but can I please eat my food or walk through a store without asking if they're ID, if they run through my family, if we were shocked, etc.  I know I never stopped people to ask them, I may have commented to whoever I was with that there were twins (which now I find just as annoying for someone to be talking about me good or bad when I can hear them).  Anyway, can't wait for them to be older and maybe they won't look so much like twins.

At mass on Easter, DH and I were in the back with the babies at different times, and once together.  When I was in the back with DD, someone said "do you have twins?"  I said "Yes."  She said "the other one is bigger."  I just said "yes".  I guess they are supposed to be the exact same size because they share a birthday.

Regarding the pointing and talking like we can't hear, I lost my cool with someone in Baby Gap on Saturday over that very thing.  After a long day of people pointing at us like they'd just seen Elvis and a martian riding a yeti through the outlet mall, I snapped when a woman pointed from about 5 feet away and said to a child with her "LOOK AT THE TWINS!"  I said "they're children who share a birthday, and not an exhibit.  Please don't point at them."  She did not like that one bit.

People almost make me not want to leave the house with the babies because of the comments and how annoyed it makes me.
