My youngest two looked exactly the same and I got into trouble at Christmas time by giving my youngest papers realting to her childhood and some photos and one of the photos was not her but her sister…..ooppss

It is definitely a tricky situation to be in.

I doubt he’s alone in this problem – and a lot of what he said was joking!

People can’t see the funny side of anything. It’s a man thing, my dad couldn’t give my date of birth and allergies at the hospital when i was 8 or so. Me and the nurse both thought it was funny

Lol! I imagine it would be tricky.

Lol that’s funny though…

I’d say he was just having a bit of fun at his own expense.

I’m tipping it’s all said in fun. They are just gorgeous and cute and no doubt will play games of identify and cause double trouble as they get older.

Those twins are just adorable! Those smiles!

I think he’s trying to be funny.

I do think he was just being comical.

My mum and her twin sister were very identical and nobody could keep them apart. When they were both engaged they swapped fiancees once, who didn’t notice !

  My father when he asked my mum’s father for permission to marry her was answered back by “which one”. It turns out when mum had a nursing shift that went over her twin sister would go on the date, so dad had dated both of them. Yes it can be hard to twins apart sometimes. On mum’s 2nd wedding day , some of her friends who had not meet my aunt thought she was a tired version of their friend. By the age of 70 years my aunt looked the oldest of the two as she was.

Twins have a great sense of humour! Even when you get it right they will trick you! and do so from a young age. From my experience it is easy to get it wrong when you are just glancing, going on voice alone, or are thinking about one and see the other; and when they are ‘babies’ and you are sleep deprived Confusion can be rife even between the twins, who can’t tell each other apart in photos; and have made hilarious mistakes, like walking in an art gallery (alone with dad at the time while the twin was doing an exam) encountering a full length mirror, and being stunned that their other twin was walking towards them!

This would happen to everyone! I used to work in childcare and we had twins that at times we couldn’t tell apart.

If they are Indentical It probably happens to most twin parents.

If they are totally identical then it probably happens to may parents!

I think most parents of identical twins struggle to tell them apart unless they’re up close.

This made me laugh. I don’t have twins but they do run in the family and are hard to tell apart.

Ha! Ha! I can imagine it must be quite tricky.

I know a family who fostered identical twins for several months. They both also had the same medical problem. They had a little bracelet on one of them. At night their own son could tell which one was crying. One had a very slight difference of tone in her cry.

Love this guy! He’s an amazing father and hey if it’s true only human. People need to move past “slamming” people and look at the lighter side of things.
