thought this was cute ;)
One of my girlfriends has a set of boy/girl twins and shared this with me. I thought it was too cute and decided to share with you guys for possibly a little humor in our lives!!! 
ENJOY!!!
The Top 15 Stupid Things People Say to Parents of Twins
15. ?I could never do it.? (Oh really. What would you do? Are you suggesting I put them on the curb with signs around their necks that say, ?Free to a good home. My mom can?t do it.??)
14. ?Do they have different personalities?? (No. They are the same human being divided into two parts.)
13. Said by a stranger, ?They?re identical, right?? Mom answers, ?No. They?re fraternal.? Stranger response, ?They are NOT!? (OK. You?re right. I have no idea what I?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?s been more than an hour. I guess I should return them.)
12. ?Are they ?paternal? twins?? (Yes. They have a father. There was only one virgin birth.)
11. ?Just wait till they?re older. It only gets harder.? (Thank you. I woke up this morning hoping I?d receive a word of discouragement while pushing a cart of preschoolers down the cereal aisle.)
10. ?When one cries, does he wake the other?? (No. Twins cannot hear each other?s cries because they all communicate with their special telepathic language only.)
9. From a perfect stranger: ?Were they in the same sac?? (Hello. Nice to meet you, too. Will you be sharing your gynecological history with me as well?)
8. ?Are they developmentally behind?? (Well, let?s see. They?re 3 years old and thus far, all their graduate school applications have been denied. We?ll get back with you on that.)
7. ?How do you do it?? (Haven?t you seen the Nike commercials?)
6. Said by a dentist: ?I was shocked that they didn?t have the same bite patterns.? (They are two different human beings, not clones.)
5. ?You must be SO busy.? (Are you volunteering to clean my house?)
4. Said to a mom of fraternal twins who are different sizes, have different eye color and different face structure: ?How do you tell them apart?? (I just look at them.)
3. ?What do you do when they both cry at the same time?? (Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I go to Starbucks.)
2. Said to a mom of boy/girl twins: ?Are they identical?? (Uh. Not exactly. One has a penis)
1. Only one comment could be voted No. 1. The choice was clear. Drum roll, please. After a stranger had been informed that the toddler boys were twins, she asked a simple question: ?Are they brothers?? (Enough said.)
Let?s be honest. People are fascinated with twins. They don?t mean to say stupid things. It just happens. It happens to all of us. Saying stupid things is one activity that joins us all together as human beings. Learn to forgive the frailties of others and enjoy the laughs later. Life is a journey. Enjoy the double-stroller roller coaster ride!

Re: thought this was cute ;)
love it! these are cute and funny. and, look, you are so prepared with snarky answers should you ever feel the need to say one of these answers outloud :P
i love when my girls are dresssed in dresses, and someone says, "a boy and a girl?"
Good lord people are crazy
I can hardly imagine the questions/comments we will get.
I always get "are they identical?" after telling people we're having one of each. It never fails to be followed by "well, I mean will they look alike?" They ARE siblings, so YES, they will look alike.
Always...and pink blankets! WTH? Are you blind?
hilarious - thanks for making me laugh!
I've gotten the will they be indentical question after telling someone they're b/g on several occasions - one lady actually discussed with me how she met b/g twins that looked so much alike she thought they were identicals. I thought to myself, really? So one having a penis doesn't just end that argument for you then? How fascinating. I replied, well they are siblings, so it makes sense that they look alike and was told that they looked too similar and were probably idents because it could happen.
