A stranger stopped, did the stare back and forth from one cart to the other, and then said, "Are you two together?" My friend, without missing a beat, looked puzzled and said, "No! I've never seen them before in my life!" and strode off down the aisle leaving us behind. I laughed about it for months!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-87781461657449175172010-11-11T10:05:28.808-05:002010-11-11T10:05:28.808-05:00Ohh the awkward pauses.

(And I *always* look to the toddler for my "out" in a conversation, like with the "okay, say bye!" thing or whatever.

At 6 months old, we're stuck in the stage where people touch them without any warning; I swear I'm about ready to start biting hands that come anywhere near my babies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-31054200508574681932010-11-10T15:53:55.161-05:002010-11-10T15:53:55.161-05:00My girls aren't twins but I get that question ...My girls aren't twins but I get that question more often than not "Are they twins?" Nope 15 months apart is my typical answer. What gets me though is that they don't even look alike. One has dark hair dark eyes the other has light hair and blue eyes. Yes the look like sisters, but by far they are not twins lol.<br /><br />We do the bye bye method alot. Say bye-bye so I can walk out lol. Glad I'm not the only one.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06393527112031701125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2621701638860930715.post-47924996852461538912010-11-10T15:01:06.459-05:002010-11-10T15:01:06.459-05:00I saw what looked like quadruplets (18 months?) at...I saw what looked like quadruplets (18 months?) at the park the other day. I don't want to be one of THOSE people who asks a million questions about the kids and the parents' personal lives, but the kids kept running up to me and showing me stuff, and so I was talking to the kids and asking them questions, to which they only giggled or gestured in response. One of the little girls ran up to me with a ball in each hand. She held them up in delight. "Oooh, how many do you have?" I asked her. A woman standing behind me, obviously used to hearing those words, answered, "There are 5, but one is home sick." "Oh," I said. "I was actually asking about the balls, but wow, five must be an adventure." It really clued me in to how often these parents must be asked those questions, because I wasn't even talking to the woman, I never had made eye contact with her, and I didn't even know she was behind me, yet she answered the question without hesitation. I think I would fall over with teh cute if 5 little babies shouted "bye bye" in unison at me, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
