Raising twins is one of those things that everyone thinks would be super adorable and fun, and while I’m sure it can be those things, it’s also a whole other bag of worms – that take a whole bag of tricks to deal with.
It you’re raising twins (or are thinking you’d like to), you’re going to die at these 12 posts.
12. As long as they never know which it was.
You can’t play favorites like that.
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.

11. Carry on, kind stranger.
Be the second guy, y’all.
Miracle in Costco:
Judgemental lady: Ugh. Are you buying FORMULA so you can drink all that WINE?
*Looks at crying twins, stacks of groceries, and sleep deprived tearful wife*
Me: I…
Random stranger: *to me* I got this, bro. *To her* Go fuck yourself.#faithrestored

10. The one time it would actually be helpful.
Bless his heart.
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

9. I think the right person got the twins.
I’m just saying.
{Talking to my friend who just had twins}
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?— Andrew Nadeau (@TheAndrewNadeau) June 16, 2018
8. Just say yes.
And every once in a while say “no, that’s your brother” so they don’t catch on.
Raising Twins
Twin 1: *looking at an old photo album* Is this me?
Me: I literally have no idea.

7. All of these are excellent.
Why think up your own reply when these already exist?

6. The prank that keeps on giving.
God is super hilarious, right?
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.

5. Sure, in a perfect world.
But they’re obviously always going to have their birthdays together anyway.
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

4. Whatever you’ve gotta do to make it through.
I mean that literally.
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

3. Now that’s solidarity.
I’m imagining the decibel level right now.

1. I cannot with this.
My ovaries are exploding.
Yesterday one of my 2.5 year old twins was sick and out of daycare. He met his brother at the door for a hug and was asked "how are you feeling?" repeatedly. The sick little guy then helped his brother take off his coat. pic.twitter.com/wAYGQIgv7D

Parents are so funny, y’all. What choice do they have?
If you’re a twin or have twins, add your funny anecdote in the comments!
Thanks, fam!
