Nope...Not Identical

I have to say...I am amazed at people's lack of knowledge of how genetics and anatomy works. I cannot tell you how many times I have had a conversation that goes something like this...

Them: "Twins?"

Me: "Yes."

Them: "One of each?"

Me: "Yes...one boy and one girl." (I mean did the pink and blue carseats not give it away?)

Them: "Oh...are they identical?"

Me: (sigh) "No...not identical."

I mean seriously people. I could understand asking that question if they were same sex twins. But boy and girl? There is one glaringly obvious difference...it's just hidden by the diaper.

Have you never seen K.indergarten Cop?

LOL....I love that part in the movie!

I guess some people don't understand that identical means two of the EXACT same thing. LOL.

I get the SAME thing with our pink and blue carseats. Some day think I will tell them 2 boys and see what they say- especially if Anna's wearing pink. If they say something about the pink, I'll just tell them, "well I wanted a girl, so I just pretend." ;-)

We get they same thing with our girl/boy twins. It always makes me giggle a little bit.
