You know you're the parent of identical twins when...
If you get flummoxed when people use singular phrasing (like "Helping your baby sleep through the night"), you may be the parent of identical twins.
If you've ever wondered why this one is so much chubbier than that one, when they are only a few ounces different, you may just be the parent of identical twins.
If your house looks like Babies 'R' Us threw up in your living room, you may be the parent of identical twins. (Right, Robyn?)
If you've ever muttered "one diaper down, one to go" under your breath, you may just be the parent of identical twins.
If you have a reasonably good idea what the second breast is for, you may indeed be the parent of identical twins.
On that same topic, if your 3 year old has ever seen a picture of an animal nursing her litter and exclaimed "That's like you mommy!," you may just be the parent of identical twins.
If you have to put toenail polish on one of your sons to tell them apart, there exists the possibility you're the parent of identical twins.

If assessing which of your double strollers will be needed for the day's outing is a substantial part of your weekend, you may be the parent of identical twins.
If you've ever showed photographs of one of your children and the following exchange has occurred:
"Now, which one is that?"
"I don't know"
...there exists the possibility you're the parent of identical twins.
If you've ever eyeballed one of those catalogs with the "beer helmets" in them and wondered if it would be possible to devise a means of bottle feeding out of that "technology,"... you may just be a redneck. With identical twins.
Loved it! Definitely could hear Scott's "voice" in this one:)
ReplyDeleteI'm still laughing!!! For a moment I really thought I WAS the parent of identical twins! To this day, I'm pretty sure, whether out loud or under my breath, I utter the words, 1 down, 2 to go...2 down...1 to go....all 3! I'm done! Seriously...that was funny!! Frankly though, my favorite was the one when you're asked which baby that is, and you have to say, "I don't know." Hysterical! Triplets may be tough at times, but I guess I should be glad they're not identical! Good post!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is when Seth thinks animls nursing are similar to mom nursing. Oh the things kids say!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! This is awesome. We have had the picture conversation and that same conversation with people in person. Only the people that see the boys regularly can tell them apart. The nursing one was hilarious and yes, I have muttered one down one to go many many times.
