We get comments all the time pushing the double stroller around. I suspect we are one of Las Cruces' biggest circus attractions. Some of the comments are a little nosey (so can you afford them?), many are funny (uh oh, that boy is stealing the girl's food), and almost all are very supportive! I don't mind it. Anytime I would see twins I would comment on how cute they were. In fact the other day I was at the grocery store after class and I saw a set far away and ran up to check them out... They were MY TWINS! Chris was just grabbing a cart and was hidden from view.
Anyway lately, in fact every day I get the same question: "are they twins????" Well to me that is obvious... they look about the same age, and we have them in a double stroller. But yet people are always asking this and than they comment on how different they look. Of course! They are boy/girl twins and girls are often smaller. I dunno, this seems strange. Do you think it is strange?

Our kids came so close together that we were often asked if they were twins, and once I had my neighbor's son with us who is the same age and coloring as Ayrel, and people thought they were twins ~ I thought it was fun and always wondered what it would be like to have twins. I think people just don't know what to say so they say anything. Like when I was 8 1/2 months pregnant with my 4th baby and had my 2 little boys in suits and ties and my (bald) daughter in a frilly dress with a bow stuck to her head, and someone said, "I'll bet you're hoping for a girl this time"....
