    “What’s it like being a twin?”

    I don’t fucking know, what’s it like not being a twin? They’ve always been there. It’s like having a sibling only we share a birthday??

    Then if it stops there I’m fine. But usually they ask shitty sexual questions. Less as we’ve gotten older cause old women are gross.

      My girlfriend has twins and i love them so much. They are sweet and nice, but also so different. I also happened to know a few twins when i gew up. So to me it is always important to be able to tell them apart and just treat them like their own person they are. I can tell how annoyimg it can be for them, and they aren’t even six years old yet. Even their teacher often says things like: alica, tobias, frederick, and the twins over here…

      One time we went for a stroll and one of them held my hand and she asked me: do you know my name? (I only knew them for like a week or so) and i told her yes, you are:… And she was so excited, because people often don’t. Or don’t even really care, because it’s “just the twin”.

      When i was little i always imagined how awesome it would be to have a twin brother, and i’m sure it is, but it also has to be so annoying a lot of the time. Not because of the twin part, but because of the people part.

        The people part is annoying yes lol.

        Luckily despite being identical I’m like 6 inches taller than my twin. Turns out being born weighing twice as much means my twin never caught up in height! So easier to tell apart.

        But that means very few people believe we’re twins now though. It was less pronounced as kids.

        Hope your girlfriend’s kids grow up and punch the weirdos who ask the sexual questions.

          Haha i’m the one being really annoying when tjey get asked stupid questions. I’m really good at making conversation awkward for everyone involved. Not twin related, but they both play soccer and they are the only girls in their soccer team. Their trainer is like 65 and he told me that he wishes he had more girls playimg soccer. The next time i was watching them, some boy was yanking on her hair. Like violently. And one of them grabbed the other one between the legs. I had to be really careful to not drop kick a 6 year old in the face. I told the guy: soo… Are you gonna do somethimg about it? And he was like: what? So i told him. And ge said: yeah the girls keep tellimg him that they yank their hair, but he hasn’t really seen anything. And you know how boys are, in a few years, they are gonna love this.

          I had no idea i had as much restrained in my body to not beat the ahit out of him. And in hindsight, i wish i hadn’t. Anyway, they are now in a all girls team.
