When people have twins/triplets/quads..................

[SimonV8ster]

There must be times when they get mixed up in the bath or get muddled up when being dressed/undressed,etc. How are the parents ever sure whos who exactly ? I'm sure they don't wear lables or tags until they can be identified seperatly ?

Just wondered.......

Friend of my OH had twin girls about a year ago, she paints the toe nails of one of them so she can identify who is who.....

We have twins, but a boy and a girl so no problem. However if I had a pound for everytime people have asked "Are they identical?".........

I have never come across twins of any age that I couldn't tell apart

Really?

I struggle to tell the difference between all babies, let alone twins.

Me neither, but oddly I couldn't tell Ant from Dec.

They stand alphabetically to aid the general public.

Has it never struck them that their core audience is unlikely to know the alphabet?

Hopefully because of a lapse in my concentration whilst playing Bejeweled Blitz this afternoon you might now find an answer !!

Fraternal you muppets!

Do they also ask if twins run in your family (assuming you're a geezer) as it's only the mothers family that matters as I understand it?

I bet it makes you go dizygotic

I would imagine that at a very young age they are interchangable. As long as they are the same gender this wouldn't be a problem.

[SimonV8ster]

This is what Iwaswodering - I don't suppose it really matters doe sit ? I think it would worry me that i've swapped them somehow.

I don't know why I'm worrying - i haven't even got kids !!

I have 7 year old identical triplet neices, in pictures I can't tell them apart, but face to face there are enough little differences to see who is who

Don't we all have a naughty "thing" for twins of the opposite sex? (assuming you're not related to them obviously)








Unless you're from Norfolk.

I'm a twin but can't tell my mates 8 month old (non identical) twins apart. He can easily though, i guess it must be the amount of time he spends with them.

But do you know the difference between yourself and your twin when you meet?.
