We are at the haircutter place tonight getting Joseph’s hair cut (you can see it in the pictures in the previous entry about sunglasses — very handsome now). Anyway… I digress…
The girls were in their stroller with Daddy by them and me over with Joseph. This guy and his son (I guess) were in there and I hear this conversation.
Guy: “Are they twins?”
Ron: “Yes”
Guy: “Are they identical?”
Ron: “Yes”
Guy: “My wife is a twin. I’m not sure how identical she is [then something about levels of identical that I didn’t quite pick up]. She was born 9 minutes after her sister. They looked just alike until they were 16.”
All this time, I’m dying for Ron to say something to this guy! Normally, he fills in all the blanks, but that’s just for family and friends I guess. 😉 In this case, he left the guy to his own question.
I wanted to say “there are no levels to identical twins. It’s all DNA based. Duh!”
But, alas, I didn’t. I just joked about it in the car and it’s made the blog. 🙂
