EYE PATIENT TO MY SISTER THE OPTOMETRIST: "Wow, can I just ask when you're due? Because you look huge and miserable."

MY SISTER THE OPTOMETRIST: "Not until August. Thanks."

WHAT SHE WANTED TO SAY: "Not until August. Thanks. Hey can I just ask how old you are? Because you look old and withered."

Oh, I've so been there. So many times in just one pregnancy. And the questions that will plague poor Molly for life - once she has those babies, every stranger who sees them will be compelled to tell their twin story, to ask if they run in the family, to ask if they're natural, to ask which one's the mean one, and then they'll often say, "I know just what you're going through - I had mine really close together at only 18 months apart." And that's when the fists tend to start flying. Please send your dear sister my way if she needs someone to bitch with.

LOL - I'll definitely give her your number!

And I can tell you to prepare your girls for the same thing as they grow ... only things like "Do you ever know what the other is thinking?" Or "Tell me about your twin moments!" Or "Which one of you is more popular?" Or "Which one of you is the smartest?" Or "Have you ever dressed alike?"

And then there's the Christmases and birthdays where everyone gives you matching stuff ... so I hated her to open hers first, because then I automatically knew what I was getting!

(I'm such a baby.)
