I should make MoM bingo cards for whenever we go out in public. DH and I already take bets on how many people will comment either to us or behind our backs as we go about our business. Things like...
"Are they identical"
"Natural"
"Do twins run in your family"
"How big were they"
"You must have your hands full"
"Are you done having kids"
"I always wanted twins"
I'm sure you lovely ladies have plenty more to add. Bingo anyone?

Re: Seriously...
"My neighbor's cousin's best friend's daughter has twins"
"Double trouble"
"A boy and a girl, now you can be done!"
Or
"No thanks."
Or
"Wait... There's two!?"
I got a lot of comments when I had DD. Those are nothing compared to what we get with the twins now. Or when we go out grocery shopping with all three. If it doesn't let up I will start planning for extra time on every errand just to accommodate random strangers stopping me to chat about the kiddos or tell me about twins they know. I think our record is eleven people in a single 30 minute grocery store run.

I have the same problem. I went shopping with my boys and my mom on Monday. What should have taken 10 minutes took about 45 because people kept stopping me to ask about my twins. When we were leaving one of the stores she said, "How do you do it? Every 5 seconds, someone comes up to you and asks the same damn things. I'd lose it on someone by now."
DH gets a bit flustered by the attention. He is a very low key, quiet man who doesn't like to draw attention to himself (not an easy feat since he's 6'5"). I secretly enjoy watching him try to field questions while looking for the quickest escape route.
Um..one is a boy and one is a girl so I'm going to go with "No" (facepalm indeed)
Oh and I'm always slightly creeped out by everyone that asks me how I can BF both of them and how it works. Seriously, 2 boobs, 2 babies. Figure it out yourself b/c I'm not showing you.
