Twins

Good Afternoon All!!!!!!!

Twins are on the brains today because I was watching The View and there were a set of identical twins on the show getting a makeover.  They find themselves choosing the same things inadvertently to wear and they wanted an identity of their own. If you are familiar with twins, parents often dress twins alike.  Twins run in my family and my husband's side of the family.  My baby sister has two fraternal twin girls and when I want to buy them things not only do I have buy one, I have to buy two.  My mother wanted the twins to have matching Burberry dresses, and I couldn't get my head around  buying two dresses for toddlers at $300 each. Well, when I buy my nieces things to wear, I have a problem of buying two of the same thing.  I can find a pretty little outfit in the size I need; however, I can't find a duplicate.  I will not purchase the outfit unless there are two identical outfits.  I inadvertently think I need to purchase the same outfits for two twin girls because it is two of them and they are the same figuratively although fraternal.  I don't want the twins to be slighted or fight over an outfit because they are different.  But aren't they different?  Don't they have identities of their own?

Well, I have my experience in the twin department with my middle sister who is 7 years younger than me.  We have twin tastes and experiences.  She has two masters degrees and I have two masters degrees.  She loves handbags and shoes, I love handbags and shoes.  She likes her boyfriends in shape; my husband is in shape. Our little sister calls us dumb and dumber, because we buy the same handbags and shoes.  However, she wears an 8 in shoes and I wear a 9 1/2 in shoes.  My baby sister asked why do you guys buy the same handbags.  You should just buy one handbag and share.  The point is that we spend over $$$$ for handbags and from an economic standpoint, that is smart.   My sister and I are so on point with our attire that when we go to events, we have on the  same shoes and handbags without planning it. I remember my daughter's 8th grade graduation 2 years ago.  We had on different outfits, however we had on the same pair of Stuart Weitzman red patent leather open toe pumps.  Go figure.  We inadvertently buy and wear twin items to wear at the same events.  I think she is my Irish twin 6 times removed.  Go figure.

Blessings!!!!!
