"Hey, are you guys twins?"

Ah if only I had a dollar for every time I have been asked this question. Yesterday Ashley and I were at Pottery Barn getting a wedding gift for a friend. While we were waiting for our gift to be wrapped, a couple waiting in line asked us this question. We said yes we were, and they then proceeded to tell us in detail about EVERY set of twins they knew. I always cringe after people ask us this question, because it is usually followed by a detailed account of all the twins they know or a series of "twin questions." This always surprises me because there are so many sets of twins out there. Sometimes it is really hard to be as excited as they are about the twins they know haha! Here are a few of my all-time favorite twin questions (yes, we really have been asked all of these):

- Can you read each other's minds?
- Do you say and/or think the same thing at the same time?
- Do you get sick at the same time?
- If one of you gets hurt does the other one feel it?
- Are you telepathic?
- How do you tell you guys apart? (I hate this one! I never know what to say!)
- Do you guys like all the same things?
- Do you do everything together?
- Do you play tricks and switch places on people and/or the guys you are dating? (we never have, just to clarify:)
And my very favorite:
- Do you ever forget which one you are? (Yes, this girl was dead serious)

I am not trying to complain, and most of these people are really nice, I just still find it very surprising sometimes:) and wanted to share!
