My boy twin has speech delay and it can be difficult to understand him so I ask his twin sister what he’s saying and she never has a clue either so that whole twin connection thing is a fucking sham I want my money back

My old boss had identical twin sons and kept a photo of only one of them in his wallet because, and I quote, "The other one looks the same." I think about that a lot.

HIM: It’s so much harder than just having one!
ME: Well sure, cuz you have to decide which will be the control and which will be the experimental.
HIM: What?
ME: What?
8 was crying & yelling over his maths and girl twin was crying & yelling because her dress was red not blue and boy twin was crying & yelling at the noise and we all cried & yelled for 25 minutes by which point the school day was done so we all stopped and ate ice cream

Parenting twins is great - I'm simultaneously having a conversation about heart attacks & one about paper airplanes.

My twin boys aren't overly competitive with each other, unless you count which of them can be the most annoying.

Dear 3 year old twins, it's crazy when u both refuse to go to the bathroom and then 1 minute later fight about who gets to go first. Crazy.

Twin 1: *looking at an old photo album* Is this me?
Me: I literally have no idea.
In the weeks after my b/g twins were born they were tiny, skinny & bald and my then 4yo would ask “which one is this?” and I’d reply “which do you think?” and he’d say one of their names and I’d always say yes bc honestly just looking at their faces I didn’t have a clue either

To get from the car to the play area, she was loaded like a pack mule crossing the Himalayas.
Still trying to find sitter for weekend. Telling people I only have 2 kids. Plan to text from restaurant, "baby + twins sleeping upstairs."

Are Cheez-Its really a food worth fight to the death over? Apparently to my twins the answer is yes.

wife: we should have sex
fibonacci: absolutely not
I never favored one twin over the other -- I dropped them both an equal number of times.

Girl twin: mummy quick he ran out of battery!
One of my twins has stitches in her elbow. Resisting the urge to tug at them and see if the other twin flinches. #thatsjustscience

Got my twins to touch and say, "Wonder Twin powers activate!" and "Shape of" and "Form of," but nothing happens. I think they're broken.

Twin 1: My fever was 101.

Twin 2: Pfft, mine was WAY higher
Welcome to parenting twins: EVERYTHING IS A COMPETITION
My 12wk ultrasound was on #AprilFoolsday, so when I found out I was having twins, I was suspicious. It's been 10yrs & I'm still in denial about the whole thing, to be honest.

My cousin was having twins, so she did the sensible thing and gave birth to one before midnight and one after midnight so that they could have separate birthdays

First woman that gave birth to twins was prolly like “????????”
