if I wore a sign

...or posted one on my stroller, it would say...

* Yes, they are twins

* A boy and a girl

* 13 months [or current age]

* Um, my cousin has twins [which has nothing to do with my twins, but do we really need to go into how they don't always run in the family?]

* We'll see [in response to "boy, girl, you're done!"]

* Oh really [or] that's great [or] I'm glad they survived [in response to hearing about all the people they know who have twins]

And then on the flip side I'd have it translated into Spanish.

Having my mom here with me has made me realize (again) how often we have this conversation when we go out! I feel a bit like a spectacle sometimes, like I'm parading my twins around on a platter, but I do love how people are so sweet, friendly, and seem genuinely happy to see the babies.

One thing we hear probably more than anything, is "God bless them." Is this is a New York thing, or a Washington Heights thing, or a Dominican thing? I don't know, I've only ever had babies here. But everyone says it! Old ladies, teenagers, middle-aged men. I'm not sure what the proper response is, but I always try to smile or say "thank you." Guess I'd better add that to my sign.

Anyway, either someone is spying on me, or every mom of twins has the same deal, because this video is spot on...

I've even been asked if the twins are "natural." My response (later, to Jared only) is always "they are not robots." Haha.

New Yorkers, God bless them.
