For every time that someone stopped me while out and about with my twin boys to state or ask the same things over and over, then I would already be well on my way to funding their college experiences. Seriously people, let's come up with something new. It would not be so bad, but what you don't realize (and I certainly wouldn't if I didn't have twins) is the number of times you hear the same thing over and over in just a few hours. One day I swear no less than 1/2 a dozen people felt inclined to point out how blessed I was. Did I look pissed off about pushing a double stroller??? I rather think not. I was out shopping and that is a past time I usually enjoy and my boys are rather good when mobile and very seldom fuss in their stroller unless it's time or past time to eat, so I doubt that was it either. I've got news for you, a good majority of us with twins or multiples got there by long hard roads that probably ended in some sort of fertility drugs or treatments and trust me we know EXACTLY how blessed we are. And another thought - does that mean I wasn't blessed when I only had one child? My daughter wasn't a blessing? How many parents of singletons get stopped by passers by to be told how blessed they are? On the flip side, everyone else wants to point out just how full your hands are. "You sure have your hands full don't you?" Was not aware of that either...."Nope, not at all. In fact, think I'll try for triplets next time."
I'm so tempted to get a t-shirt made with this on the back:
1. Yes, they are twins. Boy, boy.
2. No, they are not identical.
3. They are xx weeks old. (I would cover the xx's with a sticker with the appropriate number)
3. Yes, I am blessed.
4. Yes, I do have my hands full.
5. Yes, they are on the same schedule.
Any Questions?
