Twin Comments

We get a lot of attention when we go anywhere with the twins, and it just blows my mind the things that some people say. I have heard things as nice as "You must be the luckiest woman in the world" to "I would shoot myself in the head if I ever had twins". I used to just smile and walk away, but I am a bit more vocal about it now. When people say to me, "Better you than me", now I say, "It is better me than you with that attitude." And when people say, "I would never want twins", I say "God only gives twins to people who can handle it anyway." You might think that I am being rude, but it is very insulting to a mother of twins to hear things like that when we wouldn't trade having twins for anything in the world. I also get a lot of really dumb comments. The other day I was at a party and I had the twins with me, and a lady there said, "Are they both yours?" "Um, yeah." I said. Then she said, "Wow, they are really close in age! You guys sure didn't waste any time!" I said, "Yeah, they are pretty close in age. Like, 2 minutes."
