    So we have two week old twin boys. They're not identical but look pretty similar as do most new babies. We've been venturing out with them more and more in a pretty fancy double pram and are constantly being stopped and asked if they are twins. Can you guys think of some funny responses to this question? "Nah, we produced one each" is about the best I can come up with but it's not very good. One guy who asked this then asked if they were Siamese!

      Have you considered "Are you drunk?" and insist there is only one child. Or: "These aren't ours - but these smelled better, so we swapped." Congrats on the rug rats, BTW!

        How about "They were on sale. Two for the price of one."? And get them little Star Wars Clone Trooper outfits :)

          Yeah! You can always tell them that as you are a programmer that take lots of coffee, your son has become super-active and that is only one in there, but of course it is moving so fast that two are being seen.

            We have the opposite problem. Our two boys are 17 months apart, but very similar in size and appearance. We used to constantly be asked if they were twins, and when we said no, people would reply "Oh, they've got to be!"... SO we would reply "Ok... they're twins... that were born 17 months apart!"

              Act surprised and ask "There are two of them?", then start fighting with wife over whose the second child is.

                              You might say that. I believe one of the mothers was a born again virgin. Don't know if that had anything to do with it though.

                                There was an old British TV comedy called "The Brothers Magregor" who were twins - one white and one black. :laugh: A good little show in it's day.

                                  My congratulations Josh, if they are your first, then you have undoubtedly had the most moving experience a man can. As for a witty response, you could say you have two wives, that might keep them offkilter long enough to make your escape! :)

                                      My congratulations Josh, if they are your first, then you have undoubtedly had the most moving experience a man can.

                                      Thanks. We have a 2.5 year old as well. But you're right, watching two pop out was pretty fucking amazing.

                                      Bloke I used to work with had two kids, decided they wanted a third to fill up the back seat of the car, had twins. Buggered the plans a bit. Then I moved jobs and found a bloke who had had two kids, wanted the third and had triplets.
