the ides of twinness




Beware the Ides of Twinness.

Because it's a guarantee. One of your twins will beg you to get braces. You will spend fifteen minutes at the dinner table explaining the many reasons why she does not want braces.

And then? The other twin will be told she needs braces. And you will spend fifteen minutes during the car ride home explaining mom doesn't always know what she is talking about the many reasons it's not so bad having braces.

At least people will be able to tell them apart now.

And, isn't this part of Mother Wisdom? The speaking as if we know and then having to explain what we don't? LOL.

I'm smiling. And am glad I had braces.

That one bit you in the butt - I've certainly been there. One of my twins needed braces and the other didn't. Of course the one who would have sailed through with no problems waas the one who didn't need them...

I'm reeling at the idea that you've got a kid that doesn't need braces. We were four for four.

I have twin brothers. They totally defied the "dress alike, do things together" stereotype.

Funny thing is, now they live in the same town and hang out. They're 50+ years old.
