Are Them Twins??

From this far away I could understand how Matt and I may get asked this question, but when people are up close I don't get it! We were out a while ago, and a "gentleman" was inquiring as to whether or not our guys were twins. With his four teeth he asked, "are them twins?". I was thinking, "oh my god, are those teeth??". I know how bad that sounds, but geez, let's be honest, I thought he was asking a question like he was ordering something off a Taco Bell menu. My boys were crying because they were scared and wanted to get away. He then says, "my mom had three sets of twins." Yes, I too was thinking, "yeah right.". Our little men get a lot of attention, and sometimes it can be overwhelming for everyone. Then we have the people that stare at them until they have found something they think is different about them. I swear, if they weren't twins people would insist that they look just alike. Once someone hears they are identical, they immediately search for something to argue they can't be identical. We were at a family BBQ recently and a distant family member gave me the fifth degree wanting me to prove to him how my doctor knew they were identical. I tried to assure him that there are ways to tell if twins are identical in the womb without a DNA test. This did not suffice his curiosity, he kept prodding wanting to know how I knew. I was saying to him that it was a private matter and he should just trust me. That is when he became a nuisance about the whole matter, telling me that I probably didn't actually know for sure. I finally gave in and shouted, "they shared a placenta! Only identical twins can share that!!". I then asked, "was that the conversation you were hoping to have while eating your burger??". When did it happen that people who are strangers or close to strangers know more about my children than I do?? I am not sure why people ask questions when they already think they know the answer. Save us both the time and the frustration and just pretend you are right! Oh, and for the record, twins that are a girl and a boy can NOT be identical!!
